It's not every shot, just occasionally, my arrows will be between 4 and 8 inches off of where I was intending to hit. Do I need to work on my form or can a light poundage sometimes make that happen. My draw weight is around 35 pounds but can probably go up to 40. Are adjustments and practice, practice, practice needed so I can be happy, happy, happy?

Thanks.

Most people don't realize it's bow torque. watch your grip on the bow and check that your contact portion isn't changing with the shot. My personal experience is that I wasn't gripping the bow but closing my bow hand right at the shot moment which moves the muscle that the bow is in contact.

Try spin testing your arrows that were off. See if they are spinning true or not.

It could be youre draw length is a little too long for you causeing you to have inconsistent form. just a thought. good luck

To keep form issues in check I like to shoot from point blank range. Close your eyes before releasing all your focus will be on the bow hand and how the bow reacts at the shot.

Thanks for the advice. I focus on keeping my hand open as I pull the trigger and that seems to help a lot.

:shade: Sounds similar to the problem i have with shots going left of the target. It drives me nuts one shot good the next 7 or 8 inches left never right.

Sounds like form. Try loosening your grip. Just my experience...but when I am pulling shots to the left it's because I am gripping too tight and torqueing the bow. Since I am a right handed shooter...my shots pull left.
