[QUOTE="Smo, post: 4646869, member: 12078"] I getting there ! Most everything is high left right now. I think it maybe due to leather wrap around the bows riser. I’m still playing with my canting the bow different amounts too. The high issue is just me .... I think. LOL My bow is a bamboo backed Hickory longbow that’s 65 1/2” long. Seems like there’s some kind of Walnut shim or something in the riser portion as well. I’m currently shooting 32 1/2 “ Gold Tip Trad shafts 500 spine . I’m shooting with all three fingers below the shaft. My bow is pulling 48- 50 lbs at full draw. This leaves around 3” of shaft in front of the riser. My brace height is @ 7” which I measured to the center portion of the riser... should that be to the back of the riser? I’m only shooting at 15 yards for now and seems to be getting the tail of the arrow whipping up about half way to the target. Isn’t that caused from my string nock point being too high? I’m 1/2” above centerline of the bow with the nock, I’m thinking I used to only go a 1/4” above or maybe it was an 1/8” . It’s been a long time. Sorry for being so long winded , but I haven’t shot a bow in years and I don’t recall all the ends and outs of shooting. And this is my first Longbow , but I’ve mostly always even shot compounds instinctively . [/QUOTE]
