Default RE: How accurate do you feel you should be?

I have to agree with the others, and am happy to see them say it. Yepper about the paper plate theory. Plates are made for eating something from, not shooting holes in. It lets the juices leak out.

Considering that the average vital is about 8" I strive for, and do limit myself, to whatever range I can shoot half that. When the adrenalin starts flowing and animals can move I figure that 4" can easily double So knowing that I can shoot 4" groups out to about 45 yards would I shoot that far? Not a chance. It's till about 30 yards max for me.

With a self imposed limit of 30 yards I can use a single pin and have no guessing about what the yardage is. All I have to determine whether the animal is within 30 yards. Then when and if the shot happens is up to the animal. But when it does I have 100% confidence that I can git-r-done. Otherwise, it'swait for the next time.
