Default RE: Average Shot Distance

I did't think that at all Badatta.....

What I failed to mention was that was the only group I shot that night after getting home from having my arrows trimmed down from 32½ as they were out of the box down to 27½. My first shot was one of the high hits....just above the "kill zone". I thought I must have "flinched" but my 2nd arrow hit in the same spot.

I realized that my arrows were probably 15% - 20% lighter after having them trimmed down and must of had a flatter trajectory. On my next 2 shots.....I aimed below the "kill zone" and those are the 2 in the ring. I have since adjusted the sight on my bow and rarely miss outside the circle. I have an occasional flinch......still only 2 weeks into

Please don't think I'm trying to discourage you or put you down, but you posted a pic and asked a question.
If you are aiming at the "O" in hole from 20 yards and obviously you think that is a good group. (possibly your best since you posted it) I wouldn't be comfortable with that shooting. Your Group of 2 is OK but it's not on target!
Myself and probably most on here would be afraid to shoot at the same spot twice. Because, more often than not we'd Robinhood or at least have arrow to arrow contact. Once you keep practicing you'll get ther too. Practice more and then go practice..shoot during the season..pratcice practice
