I am right handed and my master eye is my right eye but if I shoot with both eyes open I will hit to the left . Years ago it did not do that so my left eye it taking over or my right eye is not as dominant as it once was. just shoot more and think less.LOl Both Howard Hill and Fred Bear shot opposite for their eye dominance. It didn't seem to be much of an issue for them.

Had not thought of that. Have to focus on it tomorrow.

Use heavier points.
Use a thinner strike plate, or remove it all together to see how far "right" you will hit. Sand your riser thinner to make it more "cut past center".
Use a shaft with more deflection. Don't cut your 400 spine shafts. leave the full length. The longer the shaft, the more deflection you get (" weaker spine")
Use more "string blur.".
Presuming you are holding bow in left hand , drawing with right.

Both eyes open, strong dominate right (right handed). Even if spine isn't right, they still go where pointed. Just have an attitude.
Never had left or right problems, ever.

Pretty much got it fixed now. My form sucked. But, still, when I miss it's going to be left and not right 95% of the time.

When I shot fingers, my point of impact crept proportionally to finger fatigue. I rolled the string tighter as I got more tired, and the release technique suffered. Odds are it's fatigue/form before hardware.

If you are shooting the bow vertical, w a non gapped rug rest you might have it " out " occasionally. So for a righty that would make it left.
Canting the bow can fix that little variancej.
Also gets arrow under rhe eye should the issue be one of aiming.
A little cant aint a bad thing.

A little cant aint a bad thing. I see what you're saying. I do shoot vertical and canting messes me up. After the season I'll explore canting a bit and see if I can get used to it. Took awhile to adjust to shooting with both eyes open, too.

Your left might be arrow off the sideplate at launch.
Tab or glove?
Tab w spacer going split, or 3 under should stop it.
I hate gloves

I have to focus or mine will low and left. Focus is certainly key. Not moving that left arm is rather improtant, also.
