Hey Maaaaatttttttt. Hey Riiiicccckkkkk.
Can ya'll shoot 2" groups at 60 yds......consistently?
I am seriously asking this. I've just never seen anyone who could do it. I shoot 60 yds and.....honestly.....I think hitting my 8-ring is a pretty good shot from that distance.
I shoot indoor 3D tournaments from 43yds and in. I finished 2nd, 1st and 2nd, this Spring.....and I haven't seen anyone shoot like that. NOBODY.
Come to think of it......How big is the scoring area of the BUCKMASTERS tournaments? I've seen those guys miss it......and I'm guessing it's at LEAST 6" square. (I've gone to the last 2 tournaments)
Are there REALLY guys who can shoot like that?
Define consistently.
Closest comparison I have hard data on is some info in my shooting log book from shooting FITA last year. With full blown compound unlimited equipment (long stab, lens, skinny arrows, etc) my best 50 meter score for the summer on a fita target (10 ring is 3.14" approx.) I was able to shoot a 327 out of 360. This is 36 arrows scored as 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1, at a distance of approx 55 yards. Our state record is a 343 and the guy that won the state championship last year shot a 327.
Mathews would have paid this guy $18,000 back in April for a group like that if it would have been shot at the Stan Open......
. Possible? Maybe...........but most likely he's FOS.
