recurve shooter:
just do like me. keep shooting stuff till ya find the right thing ;D. not really. expensive. take the older guys advice, im a biginer also.

hawkbow:
I would guess you are locking your elbow on your bow arm .. try turning your wrist inward and canting the bow in a flatter position and see how they fly... I have seen several shooters hitting consistently left because of the locked elbow... hope this helps.. Hawk a/ho

Ryano:
Are your arrows sticking straight in the target? It takes practice to get used to shooting a non-center shot bow when your used to a center shot bow. It could be your a problem with your form as Mike said. I need to really stick my left shoulder out towards my chin to get in line with the arrow. See if any of this helps you. I do shoot 45-50 spine arrows out of most of my selfbows.

TRACY:
Ditto to Justin,Mike and Ryano. The arrows will make a difference as much as consistency of shooting form. Good luck

PAWannabe:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I know I'm not locking my elbow as the arm guard I have doesn't cover the protruding bone that the string manages to find.  :o OUCH!
I was shooting a center cut recurve which was much more forgiving. It shot just about everything well.
I agree that the self bow will take some getting use to but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'll keep practicing and see how the new arrows I'm making fly.
