shooting to the right

[nvrhapy]

hey guys i just picked up a martin cheetah bow package a couple weeks ago from cabelas and had them set it up for me the question i have is i been practicing the last couple weekends and it seems like all my shots go about 3 inches right of the target i'm aiming at, is there any thing that i could be doing wrong to cause the flight of the arror to go right or should i just move the sights over. any tips are appreciated.

Move the sights.....chase the arrow. If you're shooting right, move the pin to the right.

[JNTURK]

what mobow said.......move pins or sight to the right...if you are getting groups to the right of the bull

I f you are shooting to the right and the bow set up is centerd the first thing I would do is shoot a group of 3 arrows, see where they place if directly to right then increase or decrease poundage half a turn and shoot again if arrow grouping movesthen ajust poundage a quarter turn at a time until center shot is right.
If the pounage does not change then it is the way you are gripping your bow, or you are torquing the bow when you shoot, have some watch you shoot and watch your hand as you shoot, your grip should be loose a wirst strap is highley recomended.
we teach this to new shooters and old every time we a group shoot on our range.

Also refer to eastons arrow tuning chart, it is really helpful

Don't be so quick to start jacking the weight up or down or anything. Just how new are you at this? If you are not aware of it your bow/arrow combination needs to be tuned to work together, combined with your shooting form. Everything works in unison.

That being said, get on www.eastonarchery.com and download a copy of their Tuning Guide. This will explain how to basically set up things on your bow (rest position,etc) and guide you through several type of tuning procedures. You really need to do this.

In the meantime, as some have mentioned, just move your sight pins to hit where you aim. After you get done tuning you can always resight the bow.

My daughter was consistently shooting to the right. Turned out to be a hand torque issue. However, I have seen bows sighted in by shooter A that shot 6" different for shooter B at 20 yards - and both shooters are very capable. If your form is good, move your sight about .100" to the right and try it for awhile.

Are you shooting field points or fixed blades ?

[nvrhapy]

right now im shooting feild points, i do have a wrist strap on the bow but when i loosen up my grip the bow likes to teeter tooter so i still shoot with a closed grip for this reason. iam fairly new at bow tuning but been shooting for many years now obiviously not with this bow though because its new.i actually moved the site over the other day and it did get the arrows closer to the bulls eye so i'm going to shoot some more this week end to see what happens.

You have got to loosen that grip. No side pressure. Touch the tip of your thumb to the tip of your index finger (make a circle) if you must have some sense of containment - but no more than that.

If you are consistently chasing your your arrows to the right its hand torque 9 0out of 10 times. It'll take some practice to work it out but loosen your grip and make sure your not grabbing the bow at the shot.
