Ok look, i started this thread and to me it is somtimes getting way off the subject. But here is the thing, im having to shot to the right to make it hit in the middle.
Could be due to hand torque or arrow spine. You might be gripping the bow as you release causeing the bow to torque. Or it could be a spine problem. Have you tuned your arrows to your bow? What I mean is, do you have the right spine (heavy/light engough spine) for your bow weight? The weights on the arrows are simply a starting point. If you have arrows too heavy a spin, you will need to keep the arrow a little longer, or put more head weight on it. If it is too light a spin, you will need to cut the arrows shorter and/or lighten the head weight. Both, over or under spined arrows will cause the arrow to hit right or left respectively. Bare shaft tunning is a great way to tune the arrow.

Practice, practice, practice my friend!! Then practice more and more. I'm not kidding either. Try different things, see what works. Always make sure you are hitting your same anchor point time and time again when you release that arrow.
