Why is my bow shooting to the right?

Reasons why your shot might go off to the side This happens when your bow hand is improperly placed on the grip, applying a twisting force. This can cause your bow to rotate, moving your arrows off to the side. If your bow or sight goes out of tune, it can easily cause your arrows to fly off to the side.

Does the level on a bow sight matter?

Sights for compound bows often include a level that makes it easy to hold your bow straight. When you reach full draw, glance at the level to ensure its bubble is centered. Correct your bow’s position as necessary to level it, and then shoot. For your sight’s level to work, however, it must be level itself.

What distance should a 5 pin bow sight be?

Each pin is sighted to a desired yardage. A common configuration for a 5 pin sight is 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 yards. It’s pretty typical to have 10 yards between each pin, but there are those that may extend that to even 20 yards. 20 yard gaps are more common in 3 pin sights.

Why is my bow shooting so inconsistent?

Many archers have a tendency to grip their bow too tightly. When you place your bow hand on the side of the bow handle, you’re forced to completely circle your fingers around it to tightly maintain your grip. This also torques the bow at an angle, resulting in inaccurate and inconsistent arrow flight paths.

Why are my arrows hitting the target at an angle?

If the arrow flies at an angle, something’s out of whack, and accuracy suffers. First check to ensure you’re shooting an arrow with the correct spine for your bow. Arrow “spine” is its stiffness. The higher your bow’s draw weight, the stiffer the arrow’s spine should be.

Why are my arrows all over the target?

If your arrows are outside the parameters set for your specific bow, then the spine is going to be too weak or too stiff. In either case accuracy will suffer, especially with fixed-blade broadheads.
