I have driven myself crazy trying to weaken arrows to move my POI right...  I did this, just the opposite of what is supposed to be,  and it worked!
The crazy thing is my bare shafts were hitting with my fletched shafts to 25 yds... the farthest that I bother bareshafting.  But whatever... I am shooting on center now.

I have never read this until I happened on this post.  Is there anywhere to get more info on why this is?

ok... a follow up.

I posed this on another forum & they felt like I was getting a false stiff due to a weak spine.  I ran my setup thru stu millers calculator & the did show weak.
I brought my strike plate back in, decreased my tip weight and bareshafted.  My arrows came together about 4" right at 20yds.  This allowed me to move my anchor away from my face & stop smacking my nose.
Like I told them on the other forum.... that I always thought that due to my facial features & high anchor that I couldn't get the arrow under my eye... and until now have just dealt with it.

But this post planted the seed!
Thanks

As the originator of this post, I wanted to follow up. Unlike Hasbro, I believe my spine is correct, I just kept hitting left. In my simple mind, I kept trying to pull my anchor in tighter and tighter to my face thinking this would move my arrows to the right. Well, I tried pulling my anchor further fom my face, and actually started hitting where I'm looking. I think pulling my anchor away from my face put my eye right over the arrow and cleared up my problem. Now I'm going to have to switch to a higher profile shield cut feather so I can touch the feather to my nose as a second anchor. Small price to pay I guess. Thanks all for the great info.
