Im fairly new to compound archery and every time I leave the range im left scratching my head saying what is going on!? For context im doing ok at 20-40yrds and can consistently keep a decent group. At 50yrds it all goes down the drain and I can't see any consistency. I'll attached a photo of my 50yrd group and it looks like I have two separate groups one where I am aiming and another way high and right. I can usually keep two arrows together then have one "flier" in a 3 shot group. Arrows are Victory HLR's 300's @27.5" stock 50gr halfout and 125gr point weight, DCA mini sabers 2° to the right.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or what could be causing this to happen?1000025245.jpg
 
^^^ this.
Also just try shooting groups of 3 arrows rather than 6.

Almost every time I ask this same question about poor grouping the answer is "ME".
 
Could be quite a few things. My first thought is how do bare shafts shoot? If they fly straight then maybe vane contact. If I rule those two out then maybe your release or stop by a bow shop to make sure everything is set correctly (cams timing, etc).
 
Just like any sport if you want to be good get a real coach or mentor to watch you shoot and checkout your equipment.

So many little things that add up and it’s hard to correct them if you don’t even know what to look for
 
Probably inconsistent anchor or inconsistent trigger finger. Distance magnifies bad habits
 
Assuming it isn't an arrow issue of some kind, the first thing that came to mind for me was inconsistent anchor point. The issue becomes worse and worse the further you shoot.

I'd weigh/spin/mark arrows as step one and see if there are consistent issues with certain arrows. Inconsistent anchor point can happen even if you are really experienced.
