compensating for sights

[sky_guy_61]

I think my bow is tuned pretty well.. looks good on paper. However, I am having a problem where some of my shots go to the left. Before I did the tuning some of my shots would goto the right. I know some of my problem is torqueing, but I think I have figured out that if my sight pins are not adjusted correctly horizontally that I am subconsciously doing something to try to compensate to try to hit center. Sometimes I get excellent 2 inch groups, but then one or more flyers. Today I tried adjusting my sight pins horizontally to the left a little, and this seems to have reduced the amount that my flyers are off. Does this sound right? Has this happened to anyone else? If this is right, I guess I need to keep tweaking my sight pins.

My setup isan older model Jennings compound with dual cams. I have front sight pins, and no rear sight except a nocking bead. I am shooting with a string loop and a mechanical release. My rest is a 2 prong. Carbon arrows with vanes. I get the same results with mechanical BH as with FP.

It sounds like you're either torquing or peeking. If you're getting good groups with "flyers" once in a while, then continue to work on your form. Have someone watch you to see what you are doing. You might even be flinching a little. Or, if there is no one to help you,you could set up a video camera and then watch it to see what you are doing.

Perhaps if you consciously "follow through" you might find that your "flyers" will decrease.

Make sure you keep that bow up until the arrow hits. This will help that flyer problem.
