He had me switch over because he feels that using a (release aid) string off the bow string leaves more sideways movement (archers paradox) than using a D-loop and so he suggested that I give it a go. Even if it gives you only one point over a couple doz. arrows it can be worth it.

And yes it does worry me as it wasn't doing this back at Christmas when I last shot a multi-distance round. And that was with the same arrows, but with the wrist release.

Am I right in saying that torquing stems from a poor bow hand postition putting some sort of rotation onto the riser??

Oh well, least I've got two indoor sessions and Good Friday/Saturday to try and sort it out....
