Good shooting. That's great stuff to know. When I was learning archery, I was taught to cant my bow into the wind if it was windy.

Thanks. That's precisely correct. Canting into the wind will help offset the wind drift.

@@DialedinHunter It also helps to cant your bow into the hill when drawing on a steep sidehill. This helps you settle the bow at level instead of the bow wanting to lean down hill and having to fight it to keep it level. John Dudley Pro Tip!😁

Are you just aiming and let the bow shoot itself or are you consintraiting on the release

Hey Josh, Thanks for this video. I've taught archery in TX since the early 2000's, I taught longbows and recurves and canting you bow with a long bow or recurve is good. I own my first compound when I moved to Sierra Vista for hunting and never thought of canting the compound. When shooting a long bow or recurve, canting helps keep the arrow on the shelf. I appreciate this video and I now know to make sure my bubble is level with my compound. Keep doing what you do. Would love to go out with you some time to learn more on how to backpack hunt. I Will be purchasing your book in the morning.

Okay but traditional bows shoot differently. The arrow bends to the left or right on a compound it flexes down.

You need more shots, groupings, data to come up with any conclusion like that... Try over doing it on an extreme cant angle like 10 or 15 degrees, you will be surprised, they will be way closer than you probably think... Shooting a single arrow with human hands does not draw any conclusion..... great video tho..thanks

Something people should try is covering the bubble and just shooting several of their normal form shots. This tests whether or not one is needing to even think about having to work at moving your wrist etc to get a level bubble. Ideally, one shouldn’t need to look at the bubble if you’re on level ground etc. Where those hits are will tell you about your grip and form. Of course. In a hunting scenario using the bubble is paramount.

@timbow50 100%. Great way to see if your bow is naturally balanced is to close your eyes, come to full draw, and then open them. If the bubble isn't in the center something is off and pulling your bow to one side or the other. This is on flat ground of course like you said.

Should have tried canting the bow to the right as well. I did this test a while ago. If I remember right the misses were larger when I canted the bow to the right. Which was one of the reasons I loaded up my side bar with more weight.

When on a hunt with a new bow that I did not broad head tune and shot 4 to 5 feet to the left at 40 yards and missed a nice buck that yeat.

I always shoot with what feels good even though the bubble is there, I just don’t want to have another thing to consider on the shot when hunting because there’s too much going on, but I might have to consider this now. When I get level though it doesn’t feel natural, so who knows.

This should all depend on your pins. If you have a 20,30,40 set up and the top cam is hard to the right then your 20 will hit left, the 30 will be closest to center, and the 40 will miss right.
