Shooting to the right

[crawdad375]

I am new to traditional shooting and need yalls help. My shooting is getting better but I keep shooting right. I feel like I am not hitting where I should (left to right). My setup is: Hornes longbow, 29.5" draw, 7" brace,GT 5575 with 5" feathers (full length), anchor corner of the mouth, and I shoot 1 over with a glove. Any help will be more than appreciated.

I can't tell to much about your setup since I really have no experience with carbon.

I'm assuming your setup is correct and you are right handed.

Here are a fewof the reasons that I shoot right:
1. I am keepingan unconsistant grip. A lot of people keep a real loose grip during the draw, but at the point of the shot seem to grip the boweither before or during the release.
2. I am not drawing the bow straight back to the anchor or adjusting the draw hand while already at anchor.
3. I am letting the string creep ever so slightly just before the release.
4. My bow arm is collapsing. This seems to happen more when I move to heavier poundage bows.
5. My draw hand is coming away from my face at release.

Hope that helps,
Bob

My biggest thing is gripping my bow to much when shooting off to the side like you are.

I have all kinds of shooting issues, but shooting to the right is not one of them. Only way I shoot to far to the right is way too cant. How much are you cantting?

Could be arrow spine. Do you have any other arrows you could try?

[Schultzy]

It could be that your peaking too when you release the bow.

I forgot to add that I am shooting 56 pounds. I have shot Carbon Express 350 and 250's without much difference. I will pay more attention to yalls suggestions and see what happens.

Right or left handed?

Holy cow, those both are very stiff spines. Have you bareshaft tuned it to see how the bareshafts are hitting in relation to fletched? You do have feathers I am guessing? For that bow, I recommendeven weaker spines than the 250. I might go with a 2020 aluminum. But thats assuming your shooting a 31" shaft and 125tip. Lots of assumes.

Right handed and shooting feathers. Like I said I am new to traditional so do you shoot the spine weight lighter than you would in a compound. If so how do you figure the deflection?
