        I have been shooting indoors at 15 feet, since we are snowed in. I have noticed sometimes the arrow hits 2 inches left of where I am looking. Could this be creep or paradox?:?:

          Let me rephrase this, the arrow goes in the target crooked.

            So your arrow is impacting left of the intended target, and sticks in crooked? Is it the whole arrow impacting left, and in which direction is the nock pointing? Also what is the setup you are shooting, and the spine/material of your arrows?

              Yes but not consistlantly swung left. The point is headed on spot but the shaft cocked left. I think I have figured it out. With some tinkering on form. I loosened the grip and tried to use correct form. The arrows hit perfect at 12 yards 7 of 10 shots. I think I was just torqueing the bow a bit and not looking at a spot. Might have been looking at the target as a whole. When I relaxed and really picked a spot I was driving tacks:) I started shooting at 6 feet and now at 12 yards, in another week I will move back to 15 yards and see if I can keep good form. I am shooting CAE 2117 30.5″ with 125 grain tips out of a 62″ 39# at 28″. My draw is 29″.

                Can’t argue with results. I thought maybe it was a spine issue but if that were so then I would think your arrows would not fly straight under any circumstance. Oh well eh?
