I agree, most bows(even older ones) are far more accurate than we could ever shoot them. When I shot a lot of tournaments I found tha all of the form worries often caused me problems, I was thinking it to death instead of just relaxing and shooting. My mind was worried about form, draw, grip, release, etc. etc. etc. which often caused me to lose focus on the target. I think it's funny you did this test as I have performed many similiar "experiments" myself. Shooting sitting down, lying down,turned around, crouched, kneeling,canted, with/without release(just to see the effect on POI at 10, 20 &30), all kinds ofstuff. The majority of the timethe range was within 20-25 yards and surprisingly enoughthe large majorityof time the arrow went where the pin was with minimal accuracy problems. Thanks for posting your results and pics, I feel it's something more people should try, at the veryleast it gives you a little better understanding of your equipments capabilities.
Honest to God I was scared to death to shoot sitting down up until 5 years ago. It was not until I started turkey hunting did I practice. At 3D shoots I use to get all mad because I had to shoot sitting down. Now after I practice it, I prefer it[&:]
We will miss more shots because of our heads than anything else. That is why we were such good shots in our younger days. We did not know or care
