I had a very interesting conversation in the "informal networking lounge" not too long ago with a very credible compound archer about this. Concerning the archers paradox and compound bows-he believes in the concept of setting centre shot slightly off centre to purposely induce a small horizontal arrow oscillation or a "push" on the arrow from a direction other than dead centre.

His thinking was it's better than setting centre shot at dead centre and then with a bad release with the trigger or other form problems the oscillation or "push" induced into the arrow could be more erratic in the horizontal plane.

Sorry going off topic a bit maybe but I found this very interesting and wonder if it is commonplace?
