Shooting way left??? #3242604

Got my son a new Elite Ember. Seems to shoot great, but he is hitting way left. He’s right handed and has shot with a peep sight before. It seems like it has to be a sight alignment issue with the way he is aiming. I can line the sight arrow and rest and will be right on left to right when I shoot. He still hits way left.

Any ideas on what he’s doing wrong?

Draw length is too long for him

Waiting until bow season to start shooting your bow.

Has to do with not being able to maintain proper form and alignment so he can have a good anchor.

Measure his wingspan finger tip to finger tip and divide by 2.5 for his ideal draw length.

Is he torquing or squeezing the grip at release? RH shooters go left. LH shooters go right.

Does he shoot left and group well? Adjust the sight pin to the left. Then see what it does at 30 then 40.

This. Have him tuck his two middle fingers into his palm so he is only holding the bow with his forefinger and pinky. It will kill the power in his wrist and keep him from torquing the bow and pulling the shot.

That would be the first thing I would have done...Move pin in direction that the arrow is hitting

We did but maxed out sight. I think BCLC nailed it. Shortened it an inch and a couple shots showed it moving a long way back to right.
