Since I've got my new bow last August, I've had this problem of the bow "jumping" or torqueing to the right at the shot. I shoot lefty. Possible reasons, possible solutions?

I know what your talking about  There are a few reasons for this and a few solutions as well. Have you removed your grip and shot off the riser to see if this still happens on the shot?. I am not suggesting that this is the resolve but it does help to figure out the course of action. The wider the grip , the more apt you are to see torque. Did you say that you were shooting left to compensate for left eye dominate?  |

Doe girl (your still gonna be '69 to me  ) - try something. stick a piece of masking tape to your arrow shelf. Hold the bow so you are looking down on your arrow on the rest with the rest up. Draw a line on the tape parrellel to the arrow. This shows you the relation of bow to arrow at rest. Now when you draw the bow compare the relation of the arrow to your line. If the line is at an angle to the arrow then your bow is being torqued. Generally a narrow grip will torque the bow less than a wide a grip and that may be your solution. |

A very real solution (if this is the case) is to shoot wrist high which will allow the least area of contact while allowing the bow to balance in the web that is formed between the thumb and forefinger.

This bow only has sideplates. My hand is already touching the riser-can't get any smaller  |

My hand is already touching the riser-can't get any smaller Urghhh  O.K. .... try it anyway if you will  I have had bows with side plates that had to be removed and it made all the diffrence. My sons bow I can shoot lights out until he puts the side plates on  I just see something that looks awkward in your other pics in relation to the grip |
