i have a couple of problems.
i am constinatly shooting up and right with every shoot, even with the sights adjusted as far as they could go i ended up baley hitin the target. (better than the woods) i smased those sights and bought a trophy ridge sight but am still having that problem, my friends can't get it to shoot striaght ether. got any advice?

my bow string came of the cam and got stuck. after i got it off i couldn't get it to be long enough to fit on both cams. should i get a new sting or get a pro to try and put it on?

thanks

Is your stance correct, and are you pulling back on your shoulder as you draw back? Maybe its your technique? What kind of range are you shooting, is it recurve or compound bow?

I got a national archery licence last year :$, but never took it any further due to the crap summer weather last year.

*it is supposed to be up and right for the 1st post. i just changed it
its a compound about 50lbs draw. i am using my back and shoulder and my stance isn't the best. my friend can shoot my bow with the same pull to the right and up, but he shots it with alot tighter grouping.

hmm, I don't know what sight you have, i've only used the basic type of sight on a recurve bow, and we were told that you have to adjust the sight to the direction of where the arrow is going on the target, so you need to move the pins up and to the right, so I assume you are doing that?

Compound bow is a whole different kettle of fish, and is something I have no idea about so I reckon you should get it checked out by a dealer with a range that they can try it out on and maybe suggest what is wrong. Compounds have all manner of weight bars and that to make things more accurate.

Also, it wasn't a windy day was it? lol :)

This one time, Mant shot a concord out of the sky with his bow and arrow, I heard he ate it all, including the passengers. . .

lol thats a good one.

i should be able to take it somewherein a week. the only store in my town is a beer shop. could an eye dominance factor into this i haven't found anything more than it will affect the shot. i don't know if i have one though.
