Default RE: Groups?

When shooting multiple arrows with field tips I expect shots to should stack tight touching each other in a 1 inch circle or less at 20 yards or less..2 inch circle out to 30 yards and at forty 2.5..bout all I want to see..or I am not happy.

That being said, like Rob talked about, ACC's get expensive and breaking stuff sucks. I've started calling my shots versus worrying about groups so much after I've alreadygot my groupings very tight.. for example I will call "1 inch to the right left top or bottom of an existing arrow"so I dont hit it. When shooting multiple arrowswith my partner, we do that all time. Its kind of like playing "horse" with a bow.

I shootout to50 yardstoo..and shoot it well. Just for practice though..doubt I would ever trip the release on anything other than a broadside stone still bull elk at 50 yards...Whitetails I like to take shots at 30 or less.. 40 pin max.. I shoot .019's and love them.. this new Copper John Pro hunter 2 is amazing in low light as well.

Once hunting season gets close and after shooting almost every day all summer... like right now...I am shooting 1 arrow at a time with broadheads intact.Every shot has to count, just like when we hunt...or its no good. NO second chances... My buddy and I are doing that right now..1 shot at atime from every angle and distance we ar comfortable with..(off the roof of the house, off a knee, sitting, aiming up hill, standing all anglesetc) ..this takes some time but it gets me focused for hunting ..
