RE: Arrows slightly left
Gobbler, don't sell yourself short just because you're trying something new. Your thoughts are neither silly nor stupid. It's possible that your arrow would angle right or left depending on where you "captured'" the arrow in moving through the paradox. If you are close enough to your target, and if you are just starting out you should be REAL close(5 yds or less). your theory would be sound. Now, if your arrows are really angled to the left the first thing I would check is see if they are under-spined. However, I totally agree withDC above, don't worry too much about it until you begin to group them well. After you are shooting decent groups if they're still kicking left you will be in better shape to figure out what is going on.
Good luck!
