Default Decided to paper tune

Well paper tuning sure showed me a lot. Pretty bad I'd say. So I know to correct the vertical first. That being said do I just force my d loop down cuz it's pretty tight or do I make a new d loop?

Are you getting nock pinch?

Do you tie in your d-loop?

Have someone check at full draw if your nock has slight up/down movement.

Looks like you might be getting some nock pinch, you need to open up your d-loop a bit. If you tie a nock point inside your d-loop on the bottom it will help keep your arrow pressure on the rest.

Does your arrow sometimes feel like it's lifting up as you draw back?

I tie in both the top and the bottom on my bows. Then the d-loop stays put it won't close over time.

What do you use to tie in a nocking point? Serving material?

Is this a photo of you just before you are about to shoot? If so, I would suggest your 1st issue to tackle is your draw length is about an 3/4 to an inch too long. Where the nock meets the string should be at the corner of your mouth. Too long of a draw will definitely induce torque and make paper tuning very difficult.

There are some really great threads on archery talk about draw length, form and reducing torque.

No it is not right before I shoot. I took the pic just to show Lefty my d loop/nock position. Not saying my form is perfect by any means but my anchor point while shooting is pretty solid
