Recurve shooting far to the right - why?

Even out of spine arrows should fly down the middle (bare shafts, not so much). My guess is, you're way out of alignment (form) and/or you may not have the arrow set properly for shooting fingers. The tip of your arrow should be slightly outside the center line of the bow to start with. You should set your nocking point about 1/2" above center to start with too.

 
pnutbutter,

IMHO, you're a long way from being concerned about spine and tuning. First things first. Work on your form (alignment), get the bow set up as suggested and shoot for a while. Once you get the arrows flying to the mark at 10 to 20 yards, and get more comfortable, then you can concern yourself tuning.

I'll repeat what I said earlier... even an out of spine arrow will fly down the middle--bare shafts, not so much.
 
I am sure this is one of the reasons that people do not stay with archery and shooting recurves. So much conflicting advice,so who does he follow??
Boy... ain't that the truth. :embara:
