Then realized I wanted to be more then a 15 yard pieplate shooter with a recurve.
can you expand on that ?
Pieplate accuracy often at 15 yards or less is widely accepted as an acceptable standard goal in retro trad "I'm a bowhunter" circles.

The compound folks are happy as heck with this on there long range shooting, I think its BS and unexceptable for the compound folks. My goals are an inch or so off at 10 and 15 yards. Thats just me though.
Schultzy...., do you feel that way about all of us?[&o] It sure doesn't fit me. If I shoot a pie plate group at 60 yards with my compound, I guarantee you I'll be standing there mentally kicking myself in the butt and trying to figure out how I'm screwing up. I'd do the same thing if I shot a pie plate group at 15 yards with my longbow. At 60 yards with my compound, or at 15 yards with the longbow,if I'm not hitting inside a 3" group, I consider it a "miss".
Oh hell no Chief, you know me better then that! I just hear it all to often in the bow hunting forum that people are tickled pink that they can hit pie plates at 40+ yards so they can then take shots at live game after hitting there so called pie plates. Chief your much better then that, there's just a bunch who aren't!
