Arrow left

(1/4) > >>

DC:
Start off by saying that I'm not a good shot. From twenty yds I can get most of the arrows in a standard 16" target face. Every once in a while though I'll get one or a series or arrows about a foot left. One night at the range(of course) just about every arrow went a foot left. On the average though, I'm going to guess 1 in 10 goes left. It's always the same amount, about a foot. I usually shoot the same arrows, sometimes all go left, sometimes none so I'm sure it's not the arrows. Is there maybe one thing that I should be looking for? I'm thinking of video taping myself shooting. Should I video from the front or the side?

Hawkdancer:
Both would probably be a good idea!  But I ain't going to volunteer for the frontal angle! >:D.  Mount your camera so you can see several angles to see if you are doing the same thing all the time.  Can't help with the fix, just the finding out!  Good luck!

Dc... I guess we are both poor shots.I have that happen occasionally too.I would'nt worry about it.When the same arrow occasionally shoots left then I know it's the operator not the shafts.

burchett.donald:
  DC, sounds like your arrows are almost to stiff...Make sure you are reaching full draw to get maximum paradox...You may be shooting when tired, short drawing...Which will increase spine and cause that arrow to float to the left...jmho

TimBo:
You could be short drawing on those for sure - at that distance it would be noticeable.  If they are that far over, you may be right on the edge of the right spine so any inconsistencies are magnified.  Do you have heavier points you could switch with to see if that helps?  That would decrease the spine a smidge.
