What are the causes of shooting right at long distances as a right handed shooter as far as form error?

Occasional right misses are often caused by plucks.

Consistent right misses for a r/h shooter due to form errors aren't as common as left misses.  There must be 40 ways to miss left!

I would first look at arrow spine, and next look at centershot.  If a bow is cut 3/16 past center, and you are using really skinny arrows, you may need to build out the strike plate so the arrow tip is slightly outside the center line of the bow to get good arrow flight.  If arrow spine and centershot are okay, you can move the POI a few inches to the left by using a stiffer strike plate material.  In other words, use a plain leather strike plate instead of Velcro or rug.

i think i figured it out, it seems i wasent raising my bow arm straight in line with the target, i was diagonally raising it up pushing it out right of target. does this make sense?
thanks

For me, it's usually me pulling through the shot with arm pressure versus back tension and i basically pull the bow around

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

I don't really understand your explanation.  A video is worth a thousand words, so why don't you make a video of yourself shooting, and post it on the shooting forum?

You need to listen to your body about overshooting.  If you don't feel like your fingers, arms, shoulder or back is getting strained, then you're probably not overshooting.

Are your right misses consistent or occasional?  Is this something that recently started or has it been a problem for a long time?  Is this a problem with all bows or just one particular bow?
