Hello, so I bought a Toelke whip back in January and have been shooting it more and more this year. I have never shot traditional before so it has been a learning experience and a lot of fun.
I have noticed that a large majority of my shots are right and slightly low. I went to RMSGEAR here in town when I got the bow and we confirmed what Dan Toelke had suggested for arrow spine and point weight. So I think I am pretty tuned. I think this is the indian and not the arrow:)
My guess is that I am dropping my bow arm on release and am watching for that. Is there anything else in my form that could be causing a consistent low right impact? Thank you
I would recommend moving this post to the Shooters Form Forum, and adding the following information:
Are you a RH shooter?
Are your low right misses consistent, i.e. do 8 of 10 shots miss low right and form a group? Or do your arrows hit different places on the target, but more than the average hit low right?
What is your nock point set at, and do you shoot split fingers or 3 under?
Thank you. Will do.
Assuming that you shoot RH, consistent low and right arrow impact could be caused by letting your draw hand (or draw fingers) creep forward slightly at the release, creating a slight string pluck (loss of draw length, pulls arrow to the right). You might trying focusing on getting to a good anchor and then extending slightly beyond it as you release.
Clips would get us all a better idea of what's going on. Film a shot sequence from the side your draw hand is on...and one from overhead, and one from the rear...that will cover pretty much what we need to see.
