coocoo4coues Report post Posted January 23, 2009 Ok, here's a dumb question. Who could explain why (when target practicing) my groups progressively start drifting to the right? I'll be dead on at 10, 20...slightly off at 30 & 40...then WAY off at 50. I can't even get a group at this yardage. This just started happening recently, what could be off?

jamaro Report post Posted January 23, 2009 It just sounds like you need to adjust your sight frame.... IF it is off then your accuracy will get worse with distance. Chase the arrow.. if it is off to the right move the frame to the right... I wouldn't just move the rest because you are going to run into tuning issues...

Chase the arrow.. if it is off to the right move the frame to the right... I wouldn't just move the rest because you are going to run into tuning issues... J I'll try that. And yes, the further I shoot, the more to the right it gets. Why is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamaro Report post Posted January 23, 2009 Because the error is magnified at distance... think about the geometry.... If you had a triangle called abc with a certain angle bac. As ab and ac get longer the distance between a and c gets greater... Does that make sense? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BowNut Report post Posted January 23, 2009 If your bow is tuned and you are sure there is no vane contact on the rest,cables or riser then as "J" said check your sight. Do you use a sight with a level? You need to be sure the sight is actually level. I use a small level on the sight window to be sure the sight is actually level when the bow is level. If your sight does not have adjustments like a Spothogg and others you can shim the sight on top or bottom to make it level. Hope you get her shooting strait Dallas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coocoo4coues Report post Posted January 23, 2009 by any chance are you a lefty? J I remember the geo...and it makes perfect sense. It just seems that I wasn't having this happen (this bad anyway) a week ago. I'm not lefty, but left-eye dominant...so I have to shoot with one eye shut. It sucks.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 I had this same problem the other day when I was double checking my bow. I was missing to the left. If I really concentrated, and beared down on my bow and used proper form, I would hit in the center... Could be you... Just another thing to think about!

jamaro Report post Posted January 23, 2009 If you are a righty and you are hitting left inconsistently, you might want to make sure your draw length isn't too long. It is common for righties to push the bow to the left if the draw length is too long.. J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul navarre Report post Posted January 23, 2009 Are you canting your bow from vertical causing your pins to slant, thus giving you the wrong pin placement at longer ranges, especially the 40-,50 yards pins?'' You will not notice much difference at 20-30 yards but beyond that, a big difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
