Seriously, :D I had the same problem with my Horn bow. I ended up canting the bow a little in the direction I wanted the arrow to go and walked it right in.

Man I think I lost my mojo  :-\ hope I don't have to go back to the wheels  :-X practice, practice, practice! Cross your fingers

gstoneberg:
Was too much was going on in your head for you to concentrate.  Was there a serious crosswind?  Sometimes, especially with big feathers, crosswinds can be a real problem.  Other things that make you shoot left (as a right hander)...too stiff arrows, short draw, point came off arrow, bow lost draw weight, changed anchor point, bow arm form problems.

Try a different bow (and arrows) and see if the problem persists.  If so, move closer and go back to the basics.  If not, check your bow closely for changes.  I also solve minor windage problems with bow cant.

Good luck.  Remember that your confidence is paramount.  Work hard to get it back now.

Thanks again for the help! I was waiting for my take down limb to cool ( heat bending) and thought I would work on my shooting problem ...it seams to have went away @ 10 yards (heat at least for now) don't know what is different, but I hope it stays this way ;)

Soy,when this happens to me,(arrows hitting left),I check 2 things first. (1),am I over-drawing, by pulling my drawing forearm past alignment of my arrow,and (2),how is my release. Am I getting a good hook,and, am I just relaxing my fingers,versus trying to snap them open,which in my case ,the string can hang on my fingers,and foul the shot. Think  about these if it comes back to haunt you again. God bless
