Yes, if I've got sights on the bow, I've got a peep too. 1/4" G5 Meta peep. The old Archers Choice Grizzly I've got has a rectangular pin guard, so there's none of that centering the ring nonsense. [8D]I center the pin in the peep, naturally.

I maintained my good "T" form, just bent from the waist andleaned my entire upper bodyforward,into the cant.

OK GR8......you didn't cant your bow....lol. You turned it horizontal.

I can't for the life of me see your arrow hitting RIGHT, though. I just can't (no pun intended)

That some people can't shoot good enough to tell any difference in group locationbetween when they've got the bow vertical or at a 45 degree cant? [8D]

ORIGINAL: Arthur P

Just got back from the range. With my bow, canting45 degrees, 3-shotgroup centers are consistently 5" left and 2.5" low from point of aim at 25 yards. I guess if you consider that good enough, then more power to ya.
This has to be gospel (for right handed shooters). If you think about it, when you cant your bow, the sight pins move up and to the right, this will make the arrows impact low and to the left.

Actually....they move DOWN and to the right.

Mine impacted low.....but not much left. Might also be attrubutable to the shorter distance I was shooting from, though.

Distance is a definite variable. You also have to consider sight parallax. If your pin is closerto or further from your arrow than mine is, yourpoint of impactwill different than mine. As a point of reference, the distance from my 20 yard pin to center of the arrow is 3 1/2".
