my first shot was terrble, the next three I got decent grouping, but shot a little to the left!

here ya go!

You will shrink that group if you put a solid white face on the target and put a nickel size black dot to concentrate on.  Put a candle in front of the target and shoot in the dark of night.

Good grouping,are you RH? What type of arrows are you shooting?

Taiga Recurve

Heck with the grouping, what camo are you wearing, you were completely invisible, I only heard your voice and your bow.
Like was said above, put a smaller target up there it will help you concentrate on a just a spot instead of looking at a big target like that. Only shoot one arrow at a time, your first arrow is the only that counts.

cv archer, i didnt use a sight, i used my new j.d longbow, and yes i am right handed, I have another vid of me shootin a 25 yards with shows my form and everything, and the arrows i was using 480g carbons, and capt eddie, that sounds like a good idea, i will try that once i get my new arrows,
i can put up that other vid if u guys like, but maybe keept the volume off since i spit out the f word since i saw the broken arrow, and lol i set the camera on top of my a.c lol and i shot behind it

Bows sounds real loud, and if you would cant your bow a tad to the right, your group will move to the right. But not a bad group. Maybe your arrows are too stiff, that will cause them to shoot left also.

deadpool

yeaaa i figured that, which is why I am just ordereing some woodies to help change that, Idk y but i always get perfect flight outta them, plus I dont have the funds to afford some decent carbons, plus I'm not a big fan of aluminums

longstick

not bad shooting at all ! Didnt see any holes in that concrete block either, bet that makes for a great incentive

If your target was directly facing you and not sitting at an angle it looks like your arrows are too stiff. That could account for some of that noise you are getting on the shot as well as the left grouping.

jaeger,
the target was facing me the first shot, then shot after shot if moved little by little,, which made the arrows angle like that

great group. the noise from your bow could be the brace height. my bob lee sick was loud too. i bought siencers, limb savers, nothing helped. one day a friend showed me that my brace height was too high. i felt pretty dumb but quiet ever since.

I agree, your droppin yer bow arm immediately after the shot.  Maintain your form until you hear the arrow strike the target. Good group, at least your consistent.    :p
