Canting the bow.
 
I know that canting the bow is supposed to cause left right misses. However I was experimenting last night and I found out with my bow it makes absolutely no difference. I shot three arrow groups at 25 yards with the bow vertical (using a bubble level) and several different angles up to 45 degrees. I hit the2 inch circle every time no matter how much I canted the bow. This really suprised me. I was using a peep sight if that matters.I used to obsess about the bubble level at full draw. From now on I'll ignore it. I wonder why it doesn't matter on my bow?

I have found the same results. Its a habit now to pull back full draw and be level.

Some sayit will let you know if you torque the bow but I think you could still torque the bow and be level at the same time.

I have noticed an effect on arrows, however at 25 yards it might not have nearly as much effect. I cant the bow when compensating for wind b/c i have found it to be more forgiving than just aiming either way plus at long ranges you will change left/right and hit a little low

try standing on a hill, so that your heels are a good bit above your toes, and shoot level across the field w/ your level on your bow out.
