So try drawing your bow back with an arrow on the string before your shot with your eyes closed.
Once you reach your anchor point slowly open your eye, 1st question is if your peep is centering your sight outer ring?, 2nd are you seeing more of the left side of your sight or the right side?
Answers, 1st if your peep is high or low in relation to your scope once you open your eye then you have a peep height that is not spot on.
2nd if you are seeing too much of your scopes side either right or left, then you are either probably not having the same anchor points (nose on string, hand on face etc...) or your draw length may be off a bit.
Torque of the grip is always a threat, I had to deal with this as the bow should sit in the soft part of your hand between your thumb and fore finger. I found this out shooting through paper without fletching at 10 yards. You may also find you are not properly tuned by shooting through paper without fletching at 10 yards. A perfect bullet hole is what you are after, nothing else is good.
I have been hunting with a bow for 35 years and shooting competitively indoors for 10 years. Hope this helps.
