Hey Cody, I was just taking with someone about this last week! I'm a recurve shooter and have been using this trick for about several years now. Some form changes can change the rotation, whenever I retune my equipment or change bows I'll test this. The main cause of rotation is slightly different for recurve shooters I believe it is caused by the release hand. Everyone has different shaped hands and finger pressure so no two people shoot exactly alike. Though the bow can make a difference too. If people whether compound or recurve have string contact issues (face, body, etc.) I believe this can also have an affect. For recurve archers I recommend making several shots to account for form inconsistencies and move back a couple of feet every two shots or so 5ft, 7ft, 9ft this will further exaggerate the rotation and make it a little easier to identify.

Thanks for the insight! I can see that the release hand and form for recurve shooters play a big role and string contact for compound shooters. Another reason to have as little string contact as possible and to work on the fundamentals of form as the core of your accuracy.

I haven’t ever tested this but I wonder if you get the same left clocking results if you use a spined indexed shaft. The channel “ Matt in Texas “ spine checks his bare shafts then aligns the nock at 90 degrees to that mark with the stiffer side on top. Theory is all the arrows flex the same way at the shot? So, would a spine indexed shaft rotate differently than an arrow with the nock in an unknown spine location? Waiting on that video when you get bored or something lol. 👍👍

Certainly a valid point. I do spin the nocks 90 degrees check again and have not had the spin change direction. However, I agree and I am in the camp of trying to make all components as identical as possible to eliminate any possible inconsistency. As an aside, each of my last three bows has all shot the same - to the left.
