One big kick to the left

[Nitro1970]

For some reason I'm getting one big tail kick left but not all the time. The first 8-10 shots the arrow fly like darts then they start tail kickin. So I was wondering if the cause could be my grip, release, wrong spine or a combo of things. At first I thought it may be a FOC problem but it that was the case would they ever fly straight? The arrows are Easton Axis 500 cut at 28 1/2" with 125gr points. I didn't have any weight tubes so I cut 4 pieces of weedeater line and pushed into the shaft to boost the weight. These are come out of a 58#@28" longbow. I draw about 27"

it could be your release isn't clean
plucking the string

I agree with CaptJack.... it sounds like a release problem. Try coming to full draw then pull your draw hand through the shot. This means pulling the hand back as you let the string slide through your fingers. This helps in keeping you from dragging a finger on release. This is akin to follow through in a golf swing.

I agree as well. You may tend to fade in your draw after a few shots. With a little shorter draw your release hand plucks out to the right. When you get to full draw, just before you release, try to move your drawing elbow to the left, behind your back as you release. You can't but try. It will make your release hand go straight back, I gaurantee.

So your a PLUCKER!!!!! I do that sometimes also. my hand ends up in far right field, don't know why, just a mental breakdown I guess

Best bar fight I saw started out with someone saying something like that...

Yeah, I'm a plucker!! I worked on it a bit yesterday and was quite surprised where my right hand wound up after a few shots.
