Help with form (maybe)
I was shooting a bow at the local range and was pulling the shots high and left....any suggestions?

That is a confusing question because you did not say if you have a sight on the bow! They are made to be adjusted to get the shots in the bull. Then there is the tuning question, the bow must be in tune and if you are not using sights, it is very important so the arrow goes where it is pointed.

Sounds like the bow needs some paper tuning, you will find that the bow will have a different point of impact at different distances, it might be high left at 10yards and then high right at 20yards and so on, When you paper tune you basically tune you arrow flight out of the bow.it is normally only needed to do this once when you get a new bow or when you change rest or nock heights on the bow,try this site http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/hunting_articles/tuning.htm it will explain how to do it.
Good luck and hope this helped

Just a thought

Be sure you are not canting the bow. If you are right handed, and canting the bow clockwise, you will pivot on the sight pin, causing you to shoot high and to the left.

Somthing to take a look at.


Hope this helps!

The first thing I would do is have someone observe the consistancy of your form and in particular your anchor point. Drawing to the wall one time and into the valley the second time will alter your vertical impact. If you are sometimes drawining to the wall, but sighted in by drawing into the valley, any shots drawn to the wall will be high and left as the arrow will behave as though it were stiffer (higher spine).
