Glad it's working out. A couple more things might help. Asiatic bows often work well with a longer draw. These short little recurves are great fun but very different so sometimes a total change of style makes for better shooting. I anchor my second knuckle of my thumb in my right ear. You might try anchoring to the back of your jaw bone. And have another go with canting but just remember to keep your release hand in line with the string and cant your head over the same angle as the bow. Together these should bring your impact point to the right. One of my friends shoots great with the Scythian using a classic horse archery style with the bow being held at chest level with the draw hand pulling almost to his armpit. Kassai's book shows it well. You could also up your arrow point weight and keep shafts longer to reduce spine although lighter spined longer shafts will fly beautifully at longer ranges. The best thing about shooting my Hun bow though is getting back to my AFB and the luxury of a shelf and nice long limbs!
