I’m new to bow hunting. I’ve watched videos on form and stance and I try to shoot everyday if possible. I’ve noticed that my arrow does a corkscrew motion during flight, but it hits on target. Can someone help me with this?

Sounds like your bow may need a lil tuning, although it could be an optical illusion created by different color fletchings on your arrows. What are your specs? Draw length, poundage, how long are your arrows, & what spine are they?

Archer's paradox
The phenomenon of an arrow traveling in the direction it is pointed at full draw, when it seems that the arrow would have to pass through the starting position it was in before being drawn, where it was pointed to the side of the target. The bending of the arrow when released is the explanation for why the paradox occurs and should not be confused with the paradox itself. Flexing of the arrow when shot from a modern 'centre shot' bow is still present and is caused by a variety of factors, mainly the way the string is deflected from the fingers as the arrow is released.

The term was first used by E.J. Rendtroff in 1913, and as understanding was gained about the arrow flexing out of the way of the bow as it is shot (as first filmed by Clarence Hickman) and then experiencing oscillating back-and-forth bending as it travels toward the target, this dynamic flexing has incorrectly become a common usage of the term, causing misunderstanding by those only familiar with modern target bows, which being 'centre shot' do not actually show any paradoxical behaviour as the arrow is always pointing visually along its line of flight.

I would paper tune it to be sure if it's an illusion or not..

Make sure that your fletchings are not making contact with the rest or your bus cables. Also is it doing it with field tips and broadheads? If you dont have fletching contact and your arrows are spined right and theyre grouping good then its probably an optical illusion caused by the color combination of the fletchings.

While the principles still apply,.... bows, arrows, speed, everything a lot different than 1913

I would suspect it’s a rest issue if i had to guess

Every arrow or just the one?
