arrow flight

[dbHunterNY]

I was paper shooting @ 15' with my block on the floor, so I was shooting at a slight downward angle. Do you thing that would cause the high/right tear? I will try your tip for the grip and see how it feels, I started putting my pinky on the side of the stabilizer as a result of trying to not grip the bow. (never use a wrist sling) I will also pay attention to the string pressure against my face. Thanks for the help.

Bringing your target up will help. It's easier to shoot with better form when not shooting at a downward angle. Really good and follow through is what you need when paper tuning. Try not to extend any fingers as it causes your hand to be tense. You want your hand and fingers relaxed with a low wrist and hand pushed back a little so it locks into place. Paper tuning at different distances is to reassure the tune. It's possible to have a perfect bullet hole when not tuned. Basically the nock end is flexing back and forth past being straight after the arrow is released. It makes sure it's not just going through the paper coincidentally when it's straight but still oscillating. Hope this is all clear enough to follow. Good luck and keep asking questions if you need to.

Man what a can of worms this has turned into......grins.

I'd sure like to see how mine shoots via the paper route. Hint, hint.

I have paper and a Sharpie.........
