I already have a dip tube for silicon for my arrows and yes, it was a bit help when I got it. I've been meaning to buy a 3-D target andhave a block I picked up a couple of weeks ago.I guess I just have it hard-wired in my head to shoot groups. It's what I do for target in firearms and it was what we shot in comp when I was learning archery as a kid. I really don't mind popping knocks off. I can get them for $3+ dozen from the one shop owner I know, just can't stand burning up arrows for stupid reasons.
