Default Dropping bow arm?

What happens to your arrow (point of contact)when you drop your bow arm ever so slightly at the release of the arrow? Thanks!

With out seeing it’s hard to say. You could be moving you anchor up, dropping your release hand down when you shoot, lifting your bow hand on the shot or your sight could be off. I would start with these and see if some thing stands out. The best thing would go to your local pro shop and have some one watch you shoot they might be able to see it right away. Hope this help.

ArrowMike, I think I must me moving my bow arm up as if I'm trying to help the arrow get there or I'm really jerking my release because when I remain still and quiet at the shot, the arrow finds it's mark.

When you punch off a trigger on a release,the result is usually a high arrow.


You could also be heeling the bow at release as a result of the other problems and that results in high arrows.
