Technique question - missing right & left

As would be expected, the farther I am away from the target, the looser my groups get. At 50 yards I'm consistently hitting withing 2" up or down, but as much as 6" right or left. Is there a...

RE: Wrist sling/strap

I've never used one but I sometimes wonder if I grab hold of my bow too soon after release and alter the arrow flight, so I'm thinking about getting one. Are they as inexpensive as they look to be?

RE: Buck of a lifetime......

Yessir. Taken on public land in Wyoming. It is a 5X7 and netted just over 163 as I remember, and is 23" wide. In its prime, I'm guessing it was a wider and higher scoring buck.
