    Hi I am new to bow hunting and my poi is always to the right. I always have to adjust sights every night when practicing. I have noticed the bow might be going to right when released more on the follow thru then shot i am not gripping grip hard. I am a right handed shooter shooting a Hoyt vtec 60 lbs with truglo 5pin sight. Whisker rest. Need help trying to figure this out. On the bright side I did get a Robin Hood from 20 yards yesterday. As you can tell from bag I am hitting a lot on right side of bullseye

    Thanks

    You might be canting the bow. That would do it.

    Canting is torquing the bow left or right.

    If the bow is not at a 90 degree angle with the earth, you are canting the bow. You can get a sight with a bubble level to help with this issue. Having some one stand behind you and look at the bow while you shoot would help determine if you are in fact canting (tilting) the bow.

    after you release the arrow don't try to watch the arrow fly. Keep your eye on the target until the arrow hits. Also let the bow do whatever it wants to after the shot, dont grip the bow. The palm of your hand is the only thing that need to touch the bow. if you dont already have a wrist sling get one, it will keep the bow from falling out of your hand. It is more like a safety net, it only needs to be loose, not tight.
