bow kicking out to the right...
Guys, I need to try to get down to the bottom of why my bow kicks out to the right at the shot. Keep in mind I shoot left handed. Torqueing the bow, too much draw weight/length, what are the usual suspects here? I can't seem to figure it out.[&o]

RE: bow kicking out to the right...
If you mean that the string is kicking in toward your arm my first thought is that you're plucking the string out away from your face as you release. (Make sure that you concentrate on dropping your elbow straight down and awy in line with the arrow.) The other issue may be hand torque due to an improper grip but I think this would typically get the bow to go the other direction for a lefty unless you're getting the grip way out into the middle of your palm instead of up on your thumb muscle.

]! What's it doing on the shot, I don't know[&:] Time to break out the camcorder and get in front of the mirror again...
