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?

Waiting until bow season to start shooting your bow. My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Interesting to what causes that? 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. We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870 Yessir!

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. "There is no such thing as a failure who keeps trying" John Popper

Shortened it an inch and a couple shots showed it moving a long way back to right.
