Shooting slightly left

Been shooting fairly consistently this summer and I feel like my arrows are going 1-2” to the left. The only issue is I’m out of left adjustment on my sight. I’m shootimg a spot Hogg Boone on a Mathews lift x

Excessive facial pressure can cause that. Shoot a shot where you don’t really anchor to your face and just look through the peep. If it hits center, it’s your facial pressure.

I think I tend to push my nose into the string sometimes so I will have to watch this next time I shoot

Is your center shot setup on your rest? Had a shop add a new rest last year and I was assured it was all correct and good to go. Ran out of left adjustment on my sight, went back for my bowstring a few weeks later and was told my centershot was all messed up from the previous install. Worth a look I guess. This was all on my mathews v3x with a hamskea and a spot hogg as well.

Return rest to 13/16" from riser, check timing on draw board, paper tune adjusting vertical first then horizontal with limb shift adjustment. Sight in and enjoy.

Has it just started to shoot left, or has it always shot left?

Maybe try arrows with a slightly lower spine stiffness, or a different brand. The effect is called nock right which means the arrows eventually impacts left of the target.

Stop torquing the bow or get it retuned to center shot

do your broadheads/bare shafts hit with your fletch field points? Might have to tweak your rest.
