[vincy]

asked someone to record you from each side and behind you. maybe watching it will show you a form mistake.

 

did you have the bow setup at a good shop?

[Sogaard]

I would a proshop with a good reputation near you and see what they say.  It might need a good tuning or even new strings if you have never had them replaced before.

[Perchlake]

Take it over to proline archery its right near you 101st ave in ozone park they are really nice guys they will take the time and help you out

[tommyc50]

yeah i had the guy @ my pro shop look at it but im not sure i want him to look @the peep site or have him check the tune of the bow

[moog5050]

Sounds like with the new release you are having a tough time replicating your anchor.  Peep may need to move to be consistent and have the proper view.  Try drawing the bow with eyes closed and anchor.  Then open your eyes.  Is the peep lined up with the sight and your eye?  If not, peep adjustments must be made.  You may also want to go back to your old release if the new one isn't working well.

[tommyc50]

thats where i shoot i bought the bow @proline great guys i wont hunt if i cant hit the bullseye @ 20 yrds i uselly shoot  @30 yds and 40 yds in outdoor range

[Sogaard]

Have you tried going back to the old release to see if you are shooting like normal?

[tommyc50]

yeah i went bck stll the same i bought the new release to try to correct the problem it didnt help i now have three releases and still no help

[Perchlake]

What did they say at proline when you went there

[vincy]

like I said, probably a form issue. Proline does a good job, it its recently tuned then it may not be the bow.

 

take a smartphone and have someone record you shooting from a few angles. if your comfortable maybe post it up, someone would probably be better able to help then.

 

if not take it back to Proline and have them watch you shoot.

[tommyc50]

iplan to do that today have them look at it and ask them to check it out ill have somebody video me i did that w/ my recurve check myfrom

[bowaholic]

move your pin to the right.  "Follow Your Arrow" when you are adjusting the sights.  A spacer may be needed if your pins won't go any further to the right.

[tommyc50]

it aint the pins sight my old releace i shot to theleft i think its the peep sight

[ATbuckhunter]

I'm thinking its your form or your twitching at the shot. I've had the peep completely rotate 180 degrees on a new set of strings and still shoot in the same place as it did before. 

[tommyc50]

i went to the range it was my form yesterdayi was too tense today the guy at the range said shoot first then if your still having a probem ill look at it shot bad atfirst then started to relax and grouped finally relised i wasmoving my arm also wasn't drawing the bow all the way i got a couple of bullseyes mainly group to the rigght but i can move the sight its a start atlest im grouping thank you everyone been most helpful

[chiefbkt]

Its most likely not the bow. If you know any good archery shooters have them watch you shoot.

Glad you've got resolution to the problem. As I suspected, 99% of the time, such radical problems are not the fault of equipment.

I.age with what.moog said close your eyes draw the bow back.open.your eyes if you.cant.see clearly.have the Peep fixed every year when I start practicing with my bow I do.this the first few times a shoot it helps me with my form and any target panic. Good luck

[dbHunterNY]

if you had a specific question then maybe you could be helped on a forum but it's best to go to a shop with it and them what your problem is.

[tommyc50]

i did iwas so frustated w/ my shooting i wont hunt shooting like that its not the bow it was my form hopfully ill be back on track

[NFA-ADK]

 Many good replies here.  Filming or having someone watch your form.  Peep alignment and anchor point consistency. 

 

Shoot at a blank target it helps with form.  Draw with eyes closed and see if peep is perfect. 

 

Ask the bow shop to add a kisser on the string, sometimes this extra anchor point adds to consistency. 

 

Make sure you are not over bowed or are shooting too many arrows, both can lead to bad form. 

 

When you shoot, hold your form like someone is taking your picture and try to use back tension regardless of release type. 

Follow through, VIP 

 

I use steps to shoot.

1 Knock arrow raise arrow rest, estimate range

2 Full draw with peep perfect

3 Get target in view

4 Pick a pin for aiming and zero in

5 Use back tension to fire release holding form after shot (Follow through)

 

Good luck, hope some of this helps and you get it resolved.

where do you shoot?  maybe someone who knows what they're doing can meet up with you to shoot and give some pointers.  I'm not close to NYC or not sure where else you shoot.

 

anyone down that way?

[NYbuck50]

Some great advice on here. If you cant shoot consistent groups, no matter where on the target, its something to do with your form.

 

If your constantly grouping say low and left (or wherever) of bullsyeye, and you cant correct it by moving your sight, it could be your rest, nock point, etc, something a good proshop could fix.
