Sometimes it's just our form.

I've seen a lot of threads asking about bh shooting left or right at longer distances. Today I finally got out to do some longer distance shooting and noticed sometimes they hit right or left I knew the bow could shoot and my center shot was good. So I looked up up at my top cam and noticed I was pulling the string to the left of the cam not centered with it. So I adjusted my form to eliminate the left torque of the string and bam everything was centered. I know when shooting and your not getting the results we want we want to blame the bow cause we all wanna believe we shoot perfect but often it's not the bow it's just us. Take your time look at all aspects before you start getting after it with a Allen wrench a lot of times it's just small adjustments to our form. Thought I'd share. This was 50 yards shooting a grizz 2.

That is a horrible shot!!! You missed the black by an inch or two...

Great shot, congrats...

It's typically the indian, not the arrow.

Good point, IMO these little slips in form don't show up as much at 20 but when you stretch it out there with a BH they become evident.

And that sir IMO is the most overlooked thing when it comes to broadhead flight. I know for a fact that I've torqued my bow in the field when I didn't have 20 seconds to make sure everything was right or when I was all out of position because of where the shot presented itself. This is also my biggest reason as to why I shoot mechanicals 90% of the time. I think it affords me to be less than perfect with my form in the field. I may be wrong, but that's always been my argument. Having said the above I do try my best to maintain the best form possible when shooting critters.

Good advice here. Thanks for the info.

Yep, we lean, we squat, we get on one knee, two knees, sit in chairs, buckets, boards, etc. Just not the same as standing in the garage banging away at the bag target.

Practicing the shots you will take in the field, while you are home in your backyard or garage, will help, too. Maybe you can't get the same 25' elevation, but if you shoot from a stool in the woods, shoot from a stool in your garage. You'd be surprised how something so simple makes such a difference. From knowing where your legs need to be so that you don't smack the cam on your thigh, to knowing how to compensate for anything other than straight, level shooting.
