Try replacing your strike plate with the soft side of velcro and if you still need to move more try the Bear rug rest material.

There are a few ways to move your point of impact. The first, obviously, is point weight. Heavier will move the impact point to the right for you. Raising your brace height will also move it right. And, as others have said, so will thinning your side plate. All of these things will change the tune of your bow.

Before I started doing all of that, though, I'd see how my fletched arrows hit in comparison to a bare shaft. That will tell the real tale. Make sure your broadheads are hitting with them, too.

If they are hitting with the the bareshafts, then they are hitting where they should, you are just aiming a touch to the left. To fix the problem, make sure your dominant eye is directly above the shaft. If you have a good anchor point, one that is tight to your face, all you need to do is just lean slightly more to the right. Just bending your head might work, but it's best to bend a touch more from the waist.

Remember, too, like TJ said, if the bow is set up correctly, and you have good form, it might just take a little while to adjust your mind to the arrow flight.

Thanks again for all the help!  I work second shift and this morning was a washout!  Too much rain for even me to shoot in!  The strike play is a thin sponge feeling material? Not sure maybe seal?  I'm going to give everyone's thoughts a whirl ASAP!  Thanks again, this is an awesome web sight!

When I shoot left its usually that I'm not maintaining proper back tension. But when I'm using proper back tension I'm on.
