Default RE: Perfection

It's not about hitting a 2 inch circle at 30 yards. It's about hitting a 2 inch circle on a bird that runs 25mph on the ground and can fly up to 50 mph in the air.

One step on a turkey and your arrow not only missed the vitals, but probably the entire bird. One step on a well placed deer shot and the arrow will still find the paunch or the front shoulder.

Myself and other turkey hunters have missed Toms in the Spring shooting magnum turkey loads at 1000-1500 fps. Your arrow is going approximately 1/5 that speed...

You may seek perfection, but there are way too many intangibles in the woods for perfection to happen without a little luck...

Congrats on the bird.
