canting
PEARL DRUMS:
I cant explain it, only show you it does happen. Art explained it a few years back. I believe it has something to do with how the arrow contacts the bow. Pat you are correct, effective spine, not actual spine. It changes how the bow uses a given spine.

OK Pappy

it very well could be torque. ive been fighting with that a lot. i used to torque so bad that i would get blisters and calluses and string burn right through a thick leather shooting glove. but ive almost got that under control. i just shoot off the shelf. here is a question for you now. (diverting here) can torquing the string have an effect on your plastic knocks? i just notice im breaking a lot lately. i break them only on misses an d wonder if its a freak impact thing or if i miss because of a torque bad enough to shatter a plastic knock
aaron:
Not sure about the nock breaking, but here's a thought on form. Imagine yourself standing upright with an almost vertical bow.
Canting the bow can be achieved in two ways, by rotating the bow wrist, or by simply bending at the waist. If you rotate the wrist, you must also rotate the string hand to avoid torqueing the string. However, if you bend at the waist (and knees) to achieve cant, you might have an easier time avoiding torque.
mullet:
Probably the biggest reason is most glass recurves and darn near Center Shot. When you cant your bow to the right, it makes your arrow go more to the right. Canting your bow right or left will make it go in the direction more then straight up and down.
You will see the difference shooting a thumb ring and arrow off of the hand. Shooting right handed I have to cant a little to the left to keep the arrow from missing the target a foot to the right within 15 yards.
