Have been plagued by broken ribs and arthritis in my bow hand thumb. Can not close it enough to twist off a pickle jar lid. Finally got back up to shooting and hit left. Took slo mo video and noticed a pronounced movement in my bow hand. Played around with a thick leather pad in the hollow of my hand to remove pressure from that thumb joint. Magically my shooting went back to dead on. Two things: slo mo videos are valuable, and I knew it, but ignored it, consistent pain free hand placement is part of your accuracy. I have affixed that leather pad with a thin wrap of intertube, ready for rabbit season

Yes. Consistent placement and pressure on the bow hand is one aspect of good accuracy. Being able to shoot pain free helps tremendously also. Glad to hear you're back in the game.

good for you to figure a solution and not just give up on your accuracy

In a nutshell, that's what I love about traditional archery. Constantly learning something new, discovering a new trick, going from "can't hit a bull in the butt with a shovel" to dead on!
The older I get, the more I appreciate the ergonomics involved in shooting a bow. Glad you figured out an adjustment! Jim

I thought it was more like "Ah-Haaa!"
