Tony Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 slow down, concentrate and BREATH.. ok now im guessing you have checked fletching contact and arrow rest. so other than a mechanical problem, its a form issue. left shooting can be from a draw length thats too long, preloaded bow torque from either too tense a bow arm or your grip. however it could just be one of them days. we all have them. dont move any sights or rest. just go out tomorrow and shoot a few relaxed shots at say 10 yards. run through your shot routine are you rushing, does everything feel ok? if everyhting feels good, then go back to 20 and further. making sure you dont get slightly left arrows the further out you go. if you do, then its a rest issue.

Tony well see they said that the bow length is almost to long for me. but they said it will be ok. they said i will never be able to get it just right cuz of it, but dang 3 inchs to the left? i don't think it would be this bad. and i tryed shooting it every day for the past 4 days and still the same thing.

Missilelock Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 If your bow is shooting left 4 days in a row I would say move the sight- otherwise,shooting a bow too long for you can be extremely frustrating-in order to shoot in the same place every time, you have to have the same form every shot & thats very hard with a long bow....it could be something as simple as your grip, but noone can diagnose your problem for sure without watching you shoot.

The_Kat Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 When will people learn that in order to shoot well, they need to shoot equipment that fits them. I know it took me three years to learn. Jeremy go get you a cam that fits your drawlength. You will start shooting alot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Changing your anchor point? Focusing too much on the pin? I've been going through my own trouble...not so much...I'll start out shooting great then my groups get not so good because I'm tensing up and focusing too much on where the pin is...Try to relax and not think about the shot so much... Sometimes deer hunting is easier than shooting at a target because at the moment you put that pin on the deer...it's all about putting the pin on, squeezing off the trigger, and watching it go THWACK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So from what I'm to understand is that you were shooting fine and then all of a sudden you aren't .. and this problem has presisted for days .. Right ?? If this is the case, something so drastic would suggest something mechanical ... JMHO I would check for string stretch, which in turn may have changed your draw length ,, again JMO Hope you figure it out .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunt or be Hunted Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 aim three inches right but i still need to find out what's wrong. When will people learn that in order to shoot well, they need to shoot equipment that fits them. I know it took me three years to learn. Jeremy go get you a cam that fits your drawlength. You will start shooting alot better. how much does the cam cost?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybear Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 The closer we get to seasons start the more we want to see our arrows hit their mark. Quit peaking around your riser in anticipation...... Follow through with your shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowtech_archer07 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I think Tony and Kyle gave some great advice. Calm down and relax. I had the same problem 2 weeks ago. I could not shoot a group for anything. I got upset because I had been shooting great all summer. I put my bow away, got it out the next day shot 10 arrows, all of em were good, and now I've smoked 2 does already this season. It sounds like you are angry at yourself, or maybe looking around to see your shot. Follow through, and if the problem persists, go to your proshop and have them watch you shoot to analyze your shot. I also agree with Kyle, if you are shooting a bow that doesn't fit you, that could be a big problem too. I shot a bow that was too short for me for 3 years before being able to upgrade. When I got my new bow, I immediately started shooting 100 times better. Good luck man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
