Just got into trad shooting this summer, I’ve been reading about point on and it seems 30-35 is normal. With my current setup up my point on is about 50 yards. I’m shooting 30# @ 29” Ilf recurve arrows are about 380-390 grains. 3 under with thumb nuckle behind jaw touching ear. Also at 20 yards my point is 30” below impact.
Semi related bow can’t changes impact diagonally is there a way to keep that consistent.
 
Doing your best to keep your cant consistent will help with the L/R impact stuff for sure. How you see the arrow and string in your sight picture can have a lot to do with this.

Point on has more to do with length of your arrows and how your anchor point (high, low, 3 under, split finger, etc) finds itself being higher or lower.

If you're looking to bring your point on a little closer you can work on a fixed crawl and adjust the tiller of your bow to have it behave more consistently and be a little quieter.

Put the index finger directly under ur eye on your check bone . If you’re anchoring with your thumb touching there you’re prolly over drawing, your low anchor is what’s causing your long point on.

If I anchor index finger in the corner of my mouth like a lot of guys I get a 35 point on. Tom Clum had me change my anchor to like what I mentioned about and magic, 20 yard point on now. Game changer for killing critters.
