If you are a right handed shooter – arrows going left is an almost certain sign that you are dropping your bow and not following through the shot. Your peeking so to speak. Remind yourself to keep looking at the spot until AFTER the arrow impacts – and I bet your issue vanishes.
Why is my bow shooting to the left?
Why won’t my arrows fly straight?
Why do my arrows fly to the right?
Should the arrow be on the left or right?
What causes arrow wobble?
Mechanical release aids remove the left-right waggle, but the pressure comes in the vertical plane (from the string), and the rest only contacts the arrow from the bottom – meaning the arrow wobbles up and down.
Why is my arrow fishtailing?
If you are not releasing clean, and following through the same each time, you will get arrows that appear to fishtail their way to the target…

How do you aim a bow without a sight?
Draw the string to the corner of your mouth.
This is called an anchor point and while archers with a sight draw to their jaw, you should touch your index/middle finger to the corner of your mouth. This brings the arrow closer to your eye and allows you to aim with greater accuracy.
Does an arrow spin when shot?
Do arrows really spin while in flight? Absolutely! The arrow’s fletchings – feathers, plastic vanes or curled plastic wings – steer the arrow in flight, helping it catch the air and spin for a straight flight pattern.
Can an arrow be too stiff?
Shooting an arrow that is not stiff enough, or a group of arrows that vary in stiffness, will cause you to be less accurate. An under-spined arrow will veer right, while an arrow that is too stiff will favor slightly left.
Do arrows fly straight?
The saying “straight as an arrow” really isn’t true. When an arrow is released from a bow, it bends and twists its way to the target, rather than keep its perfectly-straight form.
How long should arrow be past rest?
SAFETY ALERT` Arrows which are too short for your bow setup are a serious hazard. Even an arrow that is just long enough is too short. The best safety practice is to make sure your arrows sit at least 1″ beyond your arrow rest when the bow is at full draw.
Why are my arrows going right?
Arrows hitting to the right indicate weak spine, to the left, the opposite.
Can an arrow be too light for a bow?
Follow your bow’s guidelines for arrow weight because arrows that are too light won’t absorb enough energy from the bowstring, which causes bow vibrations that can damage equipment. Heavier arrows are slower but absorb more of the bow’s kinetic energy.
What does 400 mean on an arrow?
Arrow manufacturers offer a spine chart that details their arrows’ stiffness. Typically, the higher the number, the weaker the spine. Common spine ratings are 300, 400, 500 and 600, with 300-spine arrows being the stiffest.
Why do my arrows not fly straight?
If your arrows are not spined correctly for your draw weight, length and arrow weight, it can cause erratic arrow flight. That erratic arrow flight might not show up when shooting field points, but as we stated earlier, can be dramatically magnified when shooting broadheads.
Should bow String touch your nose?
String on the nose: When you draw your bow, make sure the string touches a spot on your nose that remains consistent for you. If you feel it resting anywhere but that spot, you’ll know your shot feels “off.”
Why do arrows fly straight?
The further away an arrow is from the bow, the straighter it will fly – as the energy spent on bending lessens. Vanes or fletchings on the back of the arrow speed up this process, as they slow down the back of the shaft, which is the part travelling faster.
Do arrows bend in flight?
Arrow shafts do weird things in flight. First, the shaft (the arrow’s long, straight part) flexes when the bowstring is released. The amount of “flex” in an arrow is called its spine – which is a measurement of its stiffness.
