Bow shooting to the right

My bow is shooting way to the right. I have opened my hand and let the bow rest in the crook of my hand so I know I'm not torquing it. Suggestions?

Have you checked everything to make sure nothing has come loose on both your sight and rest? Check for fletching contact with the cables. Have you made any other changes before it started happening. For example, did you move anything, rest or sight, or did you make any other equipment changes regarding arrows, or switching from field points to now shooting broadheads? Without any extra info its a very difficult question to answer because it could be so many things.

Just a thought, "Assuming your arrows are straight" If you notice your arrow doing a kind of a kick & then straighten up after you shoot it, It could be your rest and string aren't aligned w/ one another right. or "if your right handed" your sight is out too far, Or if you shoot fingers you may pluck the string w/o realizing it.Or maybe your fletching is hitting your rest or cables when you release. Or if your looking through a peep sight maybe your eye or sight is not quite in the center of the peep every time .I also have seen "w/short bows" the knocking point of the string is at such an angle it is hard not to torque it and sometimes a release mechanism pinches the knock too hard and doesn't let the arrow go smoothly. I know it can be frustrating but if ya stick with it you'll get it figured out... My son has the problem w/ shooting too long... he'll shoot nice groups for 3-4 rounds and his arms get tired and he starts shooting off and right away he wants to start changing things, Don't do it. when sighting in take your time! shoot a few, make small adjustments take a break and shoot a few more. Remember when hunting "the first shot is the one that counts"

Another possibility is that you are shooting the wrong spine'd arrow. If your arrow is over spine'd you will be shooting to the left, if you are under spine'd and shooting at any distance your arrow will be all over the place and could very well be impacting to the right. Check a spine chart to be sure you have the correct spine arrows. Hope this helps

Took the girly bow to Drop Tine. All of my pins were set wrong for the shooting distances. Made a huge difference. Also learned a new way to hold the rest. He spent a lot of time with me. I shall be shooting better now. My field tips and broadheads were to heavy for my arrow. Thanks for all the advice guys!

I think it may be very convenient. You can easily compare prices in different countries and find your dream hunting. Your opinion is highly needed!
