    Are you using the same EXACT anchor point each time? Are you following through on each shot (holding the bow up until the arrow hits)? Are you getting target panic (twitching at the shot)? There are many reasons why you might not be getting good groups. These were just some first thoughts.

    In general... if your shots are all on the same level, but spaced left and right, its a hand torque issue. If they're all in a vertical line, its an anchor point issue. Your hand needs to come rest on the same place on your face each time, string touching the same place on your face each time. You should also shoot with an open hand or very lightly gripped hand, with the center of the grip in the center of the webbing on your bow hand, so it is inline with your arm bones.

    Cool thing about archery, you dont have to do it right, you just have to do it the wrong way every time.
