Why do i always hit left?

[john shofestall]

It just seems like my arrows tend to fly left.  Im not really sure its a form thing either.  I baretuned my arrows and thats not the  problem. Any ideas or suggestions? thanks johnnybow

Good question John. I always hit right of late. I'm left eye dominant but my left eye in the last few years, especially the last few months, has gotten worse. EVERYTHING with my left eye is fuzzy except at about arm's length away up to about ten yards. Then fuzzy again. I'm beginning to wonder if mine is and eye vision/dominance thing where my right eye is now trying to take over.

Are you posssibly a right handed shooter with some left eye dominance?

In my case, my right eye is pulling my sight picture to the right.

if your bow is not center shot, simply cant it more to compensate. try a markedly different spine arrow. it may want a stiffer/weaker spine.

Might want to post this on Shooters Forum. If arrow spine is good, look at your anchor point. If you are RH, not getting the arrow nock underneath your eye, or "floating" off to the side of your face will cause a left miss. Also, short-drawing will make the arrow act stiff causing a left miss for a righty. Where in Pa. are you?

One more thing...try shooting with your left eye closed or shoot with the clearest no-tint glasses you can find and put a spot of tape over the left lense where your pupil is when in shooting and sighting form. This may give you some answers.

I'm sure others will jump in with more experience than me.

Good luck.

EDIT: (This is if you're a right handed shooter)

If I'm hitting left, it usually means I'm either anchoring too far away from my face or my string has stretched causing my brace height to be lower, resulting in my arrows acting a wee bit stiffer.

Oh yeah, like mahantango said, short drawing will definitely cause it as well.

I am assuming you're a righty?

Speaking as a RH shooter, for me a "soft" bow arm will give an arrow impact to the left of my target.  You need to keep pushing with your bow arm until after the arrow reaches your target.

Im right hand shooter and right eye dominant.  I use a clicker so im sure im not short drawing it.
Mahantango, im in clarion county.  Has anyone ever found for one reason or another that some bows evan properly tuned tend not to hit where they are looking? thanks

It can be only 3 things. Your not useing the right eye.(Domnanint) Or your spines to heavey. Or if your ankoring to where your string way away for your eye. No one uselly dose this.
