Try holding your bow as vertical as possible prior to drawing, draw strait back, checkthe level onyour sight when you come to full draw and check for amount of cant. It may help to attempt to address the cant from the start of the draw process rather than get the bow to full draw and then adjust. Most bows have a tendancy to cant towards the side where the sight and quiver attaches. It doesn't seem like it, but the added weight on that side of the bow tends to pull it that way. Also, if you ever did much if any traditional shooting, that is the natural tendancy to cant in that same direction to maintain your form and keep the arrow on your rest. Also the same reason most competetion shooters run an offset type of stabilization of some sort, to balance the equipment weight out and keep the rig as level as possible.

None of this probably new to you though.........

Good luck!

I've always intentionally shot with the cant because itjust feltnatural. Now I just want to eliminate that right/left margin of error and start paying attention to my bubble.

In a matter of 4 or 5 practice sessions, I'm already shooting great and falling into the natural order of things. My straight vertical position actually puts a slight fuzz of the string just inside my view. It's a great way of me knowing where I'm at and that I'm on.

Already noticed my groups tightening. Very cool to be there in June!

Why do you want to elimnate your "cant"? I have always preferred to shoot with one....old 3-D days. Can't you just adjust your sight or level to match your cant?

If you're comfortable shooting that way I'd matchyour site toyour style.

Well boys the targets are always up in my back yard come over and shoot any time you like!!!! 40 yards is the farthest but it is just fun shooting. I have been out there every day for about 50-100 arrows a day, and even as picky as I am I have my bow set up exactly perfect for the season already!! Walt
