Are your arrows underspined?  Are you used to shooting a non-centershot bow, and is this one cut past center?  These are two possibilities, but you could be collapsing with your bow arm (arm moving in towards your body) at the shot, possibly from too much bow weight.  Need more info, really.  Paul.

I am right handed,

Bow one is a BW I shoot it fine, 45lb @ 28 drawing 29.5 shooting axis 500's full lenght which is 32" long and 125 grain tips.  I shoot it fine.

Bow two, Morrison with Foam Core limbs.  48 lb @ 29.5" Axis 500's are too weak, shooting axis 400's cut to 30.5" and 125 grain tips.  This one I shoot a foot to the right every time I can't figure it our.

any suggestions?

Thanks,

Scott,

Send the bow to me for about a year and I'll see if I can work the kinks out for you.  I'll train it for you.

You don't have to thank me now, just wait.  I won't even charge for the service!     :jumper:

Is the Morrison cut farther past center than the BW?  This could cause you to shoot right.  Also, the Morrison is probably quite a bit faster; are you positive the 400's have enough spine (I'd guess you have bareshafted them, but I have to ask)?  You have a long draw; you might need a stiffer arrow.  Only other thing I can think of is that the arrows are way overspined and are actually kicking off the riser enough to make them fly right.  Try adding a significant amount of tip weight and see if they shoot straight.  Good luck, Paul.
