    Coincidence or...

    Does this say something? I just happened to notice today but never really paid attention. This is a 25yds. All my shots on the left of the block are just a hair to right and shots on the right of the block are a hair to the left??? Only thing I can think is I was compensating for this right to left 15mph wind. Any thoughts?

      Really? I still ain't hittin Bullz lol but consistently around them

      So nothing about hitting right of the Bullz when aiming left? And vise versa? Just coincidence?

        If I was shooting like this at 25 yards, I would be concerned too. If there is a wind, are you consciously compensating for it? If not, then that isn't the problem. Try shooting indoors if you can. Many Gander Mountain store have 20 yard indoor lanes. Some better pro shops do too.

        First I would check the arrows and make sure they weren't under-spined or over spined. You can check the charts- Gold tips tend to run a little stiff which isn't a bad thing but if you get the wrong ones, it can be.
        Then paper tune them to make sure they are tearing bullet holes.
        Some bows like the spine on the arrow to be up, some like them down. You can see the spine by holding the arrow up to a light and looking through it- the nock and tip will have to be out. When you look you will see what looks like a seam running the length of the shaft. That is the spine. My Mathews C4 and A7 both shoot better with the spine up; my Hoyt did better with it down.
        That's where I would start.

          I think you were making sure u didn't miss the target wide right or wide left when shooting to that side.

            are you just rotating your shoulders when you shoot? or do you reposition your whole body?

              Standing in same place and twisting at the torso I guess.

              This might have solved it.

              As for my set up it was completely set up by Santa Fe archery soooooo I may have to learn more and how to set up my own bow.

                Compensating was a bad choice if words...more like fighting to keep the bow in-line with the wind blowing it back and forth

                      I shoot not gripping the bow...sits in the crest of my hand with my thumb barely touching and my index finger gently wrapped

                        Don't panic. Two on the left and two on the right is not an equipment issue. Especially Ina howling 25 mile cross wind.

                        Try it again when there is less wind and I bet you are going to be fine.
