Persistant nock-right

[jeeperjesse]

Hi all,

New member here, but I've been foraging for info from this fantastic group 'o guys for months and months.

Anyway, got a first real question that I need help with.  

I bought a bow for my wife (for Valentines Day!  You know, the cupid thing, it came with a pink arrow.  Awww, cute, eh?).  Anyway it's used, an older homemade recurve slightly funky, 34# @ 28" and I put a Neet pro-rest on it because I didn't like the shelf.  The problem I'm having is that everything shoots off of it nock right.  I tried every flavor arrow I own, heavy and light arrows, cedar spined 45#, short and long 2211's (28" and 33"), "mediumish" spine homemade arrows (5/16" poplar), even our 24" kiddie arrows (2.5" 3 fletch).  Everything comes off it nock right.  I've tinkered with brace height and nock point with no effect on the left-right nock problem.

 

Any ideas?  Thanks.

Is the riser cut past center?...Van

Just went and looked at it.  Without putting calipers on it or anything, visually it looks dead center.

UPDATE:  For anyone curious, I found that moving the brace height quite a bit farther out than I had before resolved the problem.  It's quite a bit further than I'm used to, but, hey, whatever works!

imo it could be your arrows are too stiff for a right hand shooter or maybe you are not bending your bow arm elbow and it's throwing your shots off to the left.

it could also be you are plucking the string off your face

Hmmm...what does "plucking the string off of the face" mean?

Spine isn't the issue since even kiddie arrows do it.  Could be elbow flex.

Thanks for the input.
