Golds at 20yd but flying right at 60m?

[Jumile]

Thanks for the advice everyone. It's given me lots to go on.

I won't be cutting the arrows, don't worry. And I'm using over-length arrows precisely because I've been expecting my draw length to increase over time.

Perhaps after all this I'll be able to join the ranks of archers whose arrows are perpendicular to the boss, instead of facing left or right as they always have done so far...

Sometimes that's down to a hard boss, Matt, but if it's happening all the time, then I'd guess it was a spine thang.

Try these:

1. Draw the bow. When at full draw close your left eye and look for the blur of the string. It should lie slightly to the right of the sight window as close to the vertical section of the riser as possible. If it is anywhere to the left of the arrow or the riser you are looking through the gap between the string and the riser.

2. If 1. is OK and the arrow is aligned slightly to the left of the string when the bow is not drawn, position the sight directly above the arrow. Stand at 30m and shoot an arrow. If it goes right (as I suspect it will) increase the button pressure a full turn at a time and shoot another arrow. If your arrow spine is a good match to your bow the arrow shot should start to move left and you should be able to get the arrows to hit left of your aiming point. If you cannot get your arrows to move sufficiently left so that you hit the aiming point you may have arrows that are too weak. If you have different spring strengths (a la Shibuya) up the spring strength too.

3. Get a fellow archer to watch you shoot from behind and slighty to the right of your right shoulder, He is looking to see if your bow arm moves right at release (collapsed shot) Do you hit the target at the same vertical height as your aiming point?

John (OSF) is probably right about the spine based on the Easton chart, However if the spine is reasonably close the button should be able to tune the shafts.
