Am I torquing myself into my shot?

[dingo007]

Hi,
Ive only been into archery for just under a year now. Ive been shooting pretty good groups 2-3 inches but trying to improve.
I have a hoyt torrex
I was thinking maybe Im adding torque when i aim, when I draw back my bow its sight bubble is way off to right. I then "twist" the bow till level.
Is this OK or do i need stabiliser bars and balance better? Any tips/ideas appreciated.
thanks and happy arrow slinging!

This is complicated.

The best visual I have seen is this:



Leveling the bow properly doesn't add torque, but it can be hard to know properly versus what you are doing.


Take pictures of your grip position, compare to the posted picture.
We always think we are doing something, pictures dont lie.

Hi Billy Goat,
Thanks for your reply!
my grip seems ok, i was just curious if "leveling" added torque as sometimes my groups are not as consistent as id like, might be my anchor though or just i need more practice... to the range(diy bush targets) I go!
thanks!

A sidebar or back bar can help with this but "torque" is different twist.

My bow hand is neutral and almost limp. I don’t use the hand manipulate the position of the bow. I do rotate the shoulder and shoulder blade back on that arm, and use movement of the whole arm to bring the sight to the target. As I try to picture the way I shoot, it’s kind of like extending my hand to shake a guy‘s hand, but keeping the fingers like a limp fish. The diagram above is good.
