Hi guys, I have been working hard at getting better groups. Last night experienced two strange phenomena. Suddenly I started getting good groups, but 6" to the left. Secondly I started getting hit in the mouth. It felt like my fingers and I am not sure why the heck that would happen. I don't know if the two are related or not. Any advice or help would be appreciated.
If I start hitting left, (I'm right handed) I really start paying attention to see if I'm plucking the string on release. AND if my mouth is slightly open and slack, I will pop myself in the mouth with my fingers recovering from the pluck. To get myself out of that, I start pulling through the release.
That's my $.02.
Good luck,
Rodd
Right handed or left?? Are you laying your head over to the string? More info please!!

right handed, high anchor (right eyebrow and beside my nose).
Ok...details. Newcomer to trad shooting, was doing target with a sight and an under the chin anchor. I have changed to three fingers under, with my pointer finger beside my nostril and my eyebrow on the string. It is a pretty high anchor so I have been struggling with getting my elbow into the right position. I am doing gap shooting at this stage, and I have been shooting about 20m. I wear a glove, not a tab. I am using a 70" recurve and I have about a 33" draw. I'm 6'7". I am using a 34# bown that is about 44# at my draw. I was s truggling with wrist slap but now I keep my front arm bent more and it appears to have gone away. ANything else that would be helpful to know?
