So, I've recently switched to shooting Oly recurve, and I've run into a very consistent problem. With no plunger, I'm averaging 23 points per end on an NFAA 300 face. Not stellar for having sights and all the rest of it, but not terrible. With a plunger though, I'm shooting to the right. (For righties this would be shooting to the left, as I'm left handed).
No matter what I do with the plunger, I shoot to the right. I crank up the tension - shoot to the right. I reduce the tension to the lowest possible setting - shoot to the right. I change my center shot setup so the arrow is actually inside the center of the bow - shoot to the right. I change my center shot setup so the arrow is where it should be or even outside of where it should be - shoot to the right. I change my string alignment until the sight appears to be a solid inch inside my string - shoot to the right. I move the sight to the right as far as it will go - shoot to the right. It's like no matter where I move my sight, it doesn't actually matter, I can never get to the point I'm aiming for.
Anybody know what this problem might be? I've been trying everything I can think of for two weeks and I can't seem to figure it out. The only thing that seemed like it might be of concern was nock pinch on my drawing hand, but I still shoot to the right, even if I space my fingers far outside the nock so they're not making any physical contact with it.
I am super frustrated right now.
