How much will a canted shot be off.
While shooting league last night I couldn't help but notice that alot of my shots were hitting around 5 o'clock on the target, some in the five others in the four. My other shots were in the five including some X's. Now I was wondering if my bow was canted slightly would the be the affect. Thats for the imput, looking for more fives.

Canting should throw your arrows either right or left, not much verticle. Sounds more like you may be dropping your bow arm, but it's real hard to say without seeing you shoot.

RE: How much will a canted shot be off.
I have done some testing with hunting arrows and canting the bow. I have found that I can can't my bow a good deal and still put my arrows in the vitals at ranges up to 30 yards. I did the practicing to see what I could get by with under hunting conditions. It paid off well becuase a few weeks later I shot a doe at 22 yards. I had to cant the bow to clear the back rail of the tree stand.
