Default point of impact shift when I'm tired

I've noticed that towards the end of a shooting session, as I tire, point of impact shifts 5-6" to the right. What causes this--what can be done? I've heard others comment on the same phenomenon. Please advise.

Stop shooting sooner?

Seriously, thats something to consider. Heavier hunting weight bows are not really meant to be shot arrow after arrow after arrow, for a couple hours plus. I find a quality over quantity shooting session is much more productive.

Usually for me the problem is loss of back tension and/or not following through.

If you want to shoot tons of arrows, I suggest getting a lower weight bow that you can shoot "all day long" and hone your form that way.

I agree with Jeff.

Its when you start to get tired bad habbits start to creep in.

5-6", how far away is your target? How many arrows are you shooting before this happens?
