Measure the actual DL. Bet the Turbo's longer by a hair.

I'm not saying for sure it is your grip. My friend told me if your shooting low left it's usually the grip. In my case he was right. Are you shooting low also? Mel

Mine was doing the same. I already paper tuned it for bullet holes and put everything in spec and I was missing way left. I moved my peep up a little bit more on the string and this put my head in a better position to look through the peep and line up the sight ring. Things started to improve. I then added weight to the left side of the bow with a Stokerized SS1 because I was canting the bow because of my sight and quiver. Things started to improve. I then started to concentrate more on grip and draw length. After a while I was sending bare shafts in the target streight as can be. Also, you may think your center shot is on but if it's a hair out on this bow it will shoot to the left. Try to get a bare shaft to stick into a target even. It helped me out. The grip on this bow messes me up because it grips my hand so well. It's like it's stuck to my hand. I'm going to remove it and try the wood plates. Also, Hoyt changed the ATA and brace height measurments for this bow. ATA 35 1/4 brace 5 5/8. As I start to get this bow dialed in I can see it is grouping very well. Still more work to do.
60# Vector Turbo, 30 inch DL, 28 1/2 inch Victory VH1 350 spine. My center shot is at 3/4.

I always thought low left was dropping your bow arm during the shot..for right handed shooters...
Is natural to pull your bow left as you drop the bow....not sure....buts that what I thought.
The fix is to just stay as a statue through the shot.

This may also be true. For me it was my grip. Changed my grip to more of a higher grip, with less palm to bow. Mel

When I was shooting I could move my sight all the way over with my previous bows and would shoot left. It was because if I didn't have a death grip on any bow I shot I was shooting left. Now I only shoot with a perfect death grip on the bow and I shoot absolutely perfect!

I AGREE Its most likely draw leanght. What happenes is some archers have just a little too short or too long a draw and this causes fatigue and your shots will start going to the side. The reason is the bone structure is not lined up and your muscles have to compinsate and that leads to fatigue.......

If you want a "scientific" way (instead of guessing) to figure out if it's your grip or not, pick up a used Anchor Sight (it's not a "sight" and it's somewhere around $45 used in good condition) in the classifieds and stick it on there. It'll show you in a heartbeat whether or not you're torquing and if you are, it'll train you so you don't. I like my Hoyt way better with side plates than with the regular grip. Way less potential to torque.

I paper tune, then walkback. If I don't, I have the same problems at longer distances.
