shooting left and right
BOWMAN53:
Ok so I'm still pretty knew to archery and I'm teaching my self to shoot. I started at 5 yards and can hit my target (6" square) and I have a 50% accuracy at 10 yard and at 15 yards I almost always hit to the left or right. So what am I doing wrong here? I am staying at 10 yards until I get this problem fixed.
I also noticed that when I wrap my finger around the string instead of just using my finger tips I shoot wayyyyy better, it feels a lot more steady. And I believe my form is almost perfect , but I can't be sure.
Any shooting tips in general is welcome.

For some reason a deep grip seems to release cleaner. It was suggested to me when I first started shooting instinctive. I have since developed my own style and no longer use a deep grip. If you shoot better using it by all means continue. Consistancy is the secret to good shooting.

I was watching the movie forbidden kingdom and the girl shoots a bow with a deep grip which caught my attention. So I stopped the movie went outside and tried it lol. Never thought a movie would help increase my accuracy.

You are probably not getting into you face at anchor some times or not canting you bow consistently ,that will cause left and right on a non center shot bow. :)
and of course letting you bow arm drift will also, I try and hold my bow arm solid until I see the arrow hit the target. Easier said than done sometimes. :)

Are your arrows spined properly? Are they all the same spine? Arrows too stiff will shoot left, and arrows too weak will shoot to the right. Give yourself at least 10 yards shooting distance to allow the arrow's flight to become cleaner after paradox.
