Geoff - I think I begin to see what is happeing here (having been lurking on RGS's post with interest). This sounds like torque applied while still at full draw (as opposed to torque reaction after loose caused by poor grip or alignment), so in effect pushing the riser to one side or the other and moving the string out of alignment with centershot. So you are in effect aiming off without knowing it? So if I understand what James Park is suggesting, there is some null position at some distance out from the riser that the scope needs to sit to compensate for a particular archer's torque effect?
