Until then, here are my thoughts:
28" is probably too long for you. Height in inches, divided by 2.5 is the 'rule of thumb' for draw length. You should be in the 26.5-27" ballpark.
Are you shooting with a release? Finger shooting a compound bow is a disaster. I grew up shooting recurve bows, then tried fingers when I bought a compound, terrible groups. An expert archer at my local range loaned me a release one day, my groups went from 6-8" at 20yrds to breaking 2 arrows in 5 shots. LITERALLY in the first group I shot with the release.
Is you bow (cam/idler, nock point, rest, tiller) properly tuned by someone that knows how to tune one? If you have erratic arrow flight, there's no shooting technique you can do to make them fly straight.
Are you focusing on the shot properly? There are different techniques for aiming, so choose the one you like, and practice it.
Are you coming back to a consistent anchor point with your shooting hand?
Are you holding hard against the backwall and releasing with your BACK instead of your arm?
Are you punching the trigger, flinching?
Are you dropping your bow to watch the impact?
Are you using a peep sight? Is it set for the right height for you?
Are you arrows properly spined for your bow?
What hand/wrist position are you using (high wrist or heeling?)? Are you closing your hand around the riser, or relaxing your fingers?
Lots of scattered thought questions there, but all of them come into play.
Yea I have a release, and I cant find a RSH5 to cut down my draw length but I'm trying to find one. I brought it to a archery shop to have them look it over, they said everything seem fine, he replaced my peep sight but other then that he said there were no problems.
For my ancor point, I think I am but I never really focused on that, when I shoot after work I'll see my shooting patern.
I'm not pinching no, I'm tapping the trigger, Problem? and I might be flinching since the string is on my cheak and next to my eye, not used to it.
Dropping the bow? I actually think yes.
Peep sight, Yes I am, I just had the replace the old rubber peice.
the arrows I bought from the archery shop are the ones he said I should use. There Aluminum, he said I had to use them due to my whisker bisqute.
Usually I lightly grasp the bow, and use my wrist sling do most of the work, could that be causing to much sway?
