Default RE: Pulling shots to the right

Chris, you're probably torqueing the bow. Do you shoot with a relaxed bow hand? Be sure to place your hand on the grip in the same spot each shot, and don't hold the bow tightly. Are you using a release? If so, you may be pulling the release to the side as you shoot. You want your release hand to move straight back at the shot. Try to come to a consistent anchor point, also. Any inconsistencies in anchor, grip, or release will cause flyers.
On the mechanical side, number your arrows and see if the same ones are the flyers. If so, pitch them. Also have the tune on your bow checked, if you don't know how yourself. Make sure the draw length is correct for you. How much weight are you pulling? You may need to turn the bow down a little until you get more used to shooting. Too much weight can cause form and other problems.
Do the flyers come at the beginning or end of your shooting session? At the end may be from getting tired.
