Sounds like muscle imbalance from too much disc golf, too powerful for a Matthews now

Me or foot? For me, a good bit. Is it my fat arse face moving anchor to the right?

Hold up now, Gump! If my belly doesn't interfere with the shot, Alx's can't possibly.

Think about it. If your neck/face is any bigger around your anchor point has moved your hand to the right. Even the slightest amount would change your aimpoint.

maybe it's your fat forearm hitting the string that is pulling your stuff to the left.

Lord knows you don't lean to the left in any other aspect of life.

how old are you? if over 40 it could be that because the bow, string, etc. are in your right eyes field of focus so your left eye is taking over dominance. if you were using a peep I would say that would definitely be the problem. (assuming shooting right handed)

this happened to me about 4 years ago. in one session I missed the whole back stop twice. took the bow to bowies and went through all kinds of stuff to figure out it wasn't the bow.

Nocking point change will only screw up vertical.

Windage changes are from loose sights/rest, change in form or wind (if > 10mph or so)

Actually if your anchor moved to the right you would compensate by moving your pinset to the right which would actually hve you hitting right of your intended target ... if I'm thinking this thru correctly

None since 12, from say 94 till 12.....a 2nd grader.

I still don't think that is going to help Alx shoot better, but I will eat a salad or two and see how he does.
