Thx for the thoughts. Well, I'vebeen puttingsome powdered graphite directly on the caliper face too in addition to applying it directlyto the D-loop. Since friction between the caliper face and the D-loop seemed to be the cause (??)of my "leftitis",it made sense to lubeboth surfaces. It's hard to do one without the other anyway. The caliper face that holds the D-loop has a nice bright shine to it since I've started using the graphite. I also have put some graphite into the working parts of the release mechanism at one time or another just as a matter of course.

It's not an easy problem to duplicate. But the last two times I hadmy arrows unexpectedly grouping ~2 inches to the left of a 3/4" dot at 20 yds, the leftitis went away immediately after I used the powdered graphite on the working surfaces.I know there may not bea cause-effect relationship, as I have been fooled too many times in the past by changing or doing something that had no real effect... thus my post to see ifanyone else has had this experience... BTW, I used the powdered graphite, hoping it should be odor free.
