Yep, gr8 nailed it... I've come to accept the 1" rule for every 10 yards as being fairly proficient, e.g., 1" groups at 10 yards, 2" groups at 20 yards, 3" groups at 30 yards, etc.
Can you go hunting and be "proficient" with less? Sure. Most of the guys I hunt around can't come anywhere close to this standard... but that's what I aim for, and can maintain pretty well.
I agree but I tend to hold myself to a higher degree as I am my biggest competitor. I'm not happy if it isn't 2" at 40 yards and even 50 at times.
Holly cow Rob 2" at 50. I can't hit 2' at 50. but I will never shoot a deer at 50. I know my limitations.[/blockquote]
stand, I'm my biggest competitor, when I shoot I am not happy unless all arrows are in the small black dot of my Morrell, and that's what a 2, 2.5" circle. Here's my last group at 40 yards when I first sighted in and did my review of the Viper Predator Pro MT. At this link.
