Shooting help

[tfrye]

I am using a wrist strap release and I am anchoring my knuckle at the base of my ear every time, left arm is slightly bent and grip is very light. There is no target panic going on I can assure you of that. Could be the bow just needs sighted in (it's been over 2 years) or maybe the draw length is making it do that.

Couple of things. With your draw 1.5 inches too long how the heck are you getting your anchor point right?

And when you say “you’re moving it”. Have you not already tried just moving your pins yet?

No I have not adjusted the bow at all, I could easily just move the pins and be hitting spot on just fine I just wanted to ask before I changed the pins. My groupings are very consistent.

My first thought was you were looking at the target too quickly after the shot. After reading your responses it could be a few different things. I would head to a good shop and let them adjust your draw length, look at your form, and make sure everything is tuned correctly. Might as well have everything on the bow working like it should, then you only have to worry about yourself.

Are you saying broadheads are shooting overall about 3-5” off from field points. Or your bow in general is just shooting off and you have not made any adjustments?

No I have not shot broadheads yet, bow in general is shooting off and I have not made adjustments yet. I can fix this in 5 minutes with adjusting the pins just wanted to see what everyone thought in regards to my form so I can fix the Indian (can I say that now days?) before the arrow.

Until you fix DL, there no way to know what the problem is. But at 1.5” too long, your problems are many.

Yeah, I shot a DL that was too long for several years. I could shoot fine but always just had to just sight in with broadheads only separate from FP (especially at distance). If you only plan to shoot 30 yards you can probably get away with not changing much other than some rest/sight adjustments or shoot mechanicals (another can o worms, i wouldn't on elk personally), but if you really want to fix the issue id start with DL and narrow it down from there.

After DL, grip is a very common problem area for a lot of folks. Shooting bare shafts at 20-30 yards and adjusting form/grip can really show issues. (as long as your arrows spined correctly and your bow is tuned well).

Just move the pins and see what happens. Have you ever sighted in the bow? Or was it previously sighted in and you just haven't shot it in a while?

Your pins could have got bumped and just need to be resighted.

Regardless, get your draw length right no matter what.

Shooting a bow with your draw length too long is like wearing shoes 3 sizes too big. You can make it work and yes they protect your feet, but why not do it right so you can walk or run without tripping over yourself.
