If you are a new hunter...keep it under 20 yards! Practice is great, but shooting in hunting conditions is another story.....many many variables (a moving or possibly moving target, adreniline, wind, brush or leaves, elivation or not, hunting clothes, animal position, distance estimation,and on and on! Practice is great but remember....your first shot is your only group! You get one chance. I know lots of guys who can shoot 3" groups after a bunch of shots or warm-ups, but thats in a controlled atmosphere and there first couple shots are usually pretty inconsistant. If you have 3" or 4"groups in practice .....you maybe have a 8" group hunting. Practice is great but for a first time bowhunter, keep them under 20 for the first couple.

Best of luck!
