ORIGINAL: LebeauHunter

One reason people probably inflate is they forget their "off" shots. Kind of like the "winning"
gambler who forgets his bad days.

Sometimes people might shoot 5 groupings and be taking pictures of or reporting on their top 2.

It's been said here that consistency and performing under pressure (not necessarily hunting pressure)
are keys that the successful 3D guys have that some of us don't.

My goal and one that I can pretty much hope to attain and maintain as a hunter/archer is 2" groups at 20,
3" at 30, and 4" at 40. I Heard that formulation last year and it seems like a pretty good rule of thumb for
hunting competency.
Thats what I would like to accomplish myself but a little larger should still work for hunting purposes wouldn't it?But I would also like my game shots 30 yards and under for humane reasons.
