I noticed this evening something I was doing. Got all lined up in a slightly closed stance, was drawing the bow, and noticed that I rotate my upper body (at the waist) a tad toward the target. Much the same as if I was standing with an open stance. No idea I was doing that.
Focused on NOT doing that and it made quite a difference. Actaully shot a few loooking like I knew what i was doing.Last edited by SJP51; 04-02-2021, 05:51 AM.

Tuck the remaining 3 fingers on the outside of the grip as if trying to make a partial fist. This will cause your arm to stick out a little further than usual away from the sting and it will stop you from being able to torque the bow.
Hope this helps, God Bless.
Only the thumb and index finger around the grip.
Thanks for insights!

I posted about some common issues I have a while back. All of my mistakes tend to manifest as a left miss. But it sounds like a shoulder alignment problem to me. Your bow shoulder blade needs to be sucked down and back next to your spine, and both shoulders need to make a line that's pointing at the target. Otherwise you may wind up using your triceps to keep the bow on target and when you release it's pulling left a bit.

Tom Clum has some freely available videos on this. So does Jake Kaminski.
