I'm not a great shot...but putting it in the right spot in the woods is what counts...

I shoot a short Hoyt bowwith carbons and produce the following...I'm not a 3D shooter all year...just a normal Joe with enough time to throw 100 arrows before the season...

25 yards - hitting arrows and producing about 2.5 - 3 inch groups

35 yards - 3.5 - 4 inch groups

40 yards...a 5.5 inch group with 5 arrows

Remember...its what you do when the animal is in front of you....if you bear down and have some animals under your belt you will consistently take animals being a decent shot....even if you're not a full time 3D guy...its how you handle yourself in the woods that counts...only my opinion...
