Don't sell yourself short. If those are your groups...all the time.....you would hand Hopkins his lunch more often than not.
Those groups (cited)are nothing short of "remarkable".
Better than me.
(even with my target gear)
Heh, better than me too with target gear. It makes me wonder what people consider "consistent".
With target gearat 40 yardsI can put 25+ out of 30 arrows into the 5 ring on a NFAA 50cm face. To give perspective, the 5 ring is something like 3.9X inches in diameter. I've had days where I could put all 30 in the ring, but that's rare, I average more like 27-28 out of 30.
Arrows touching at 40 yards
consistently with the occasional flyer only being 1" out is world class. I've shot with guys that hold world titles in Open Pro classes that don't hold groups like that consistently.
Edit - At 20 yards as you can seein my avatar I have put 45 out of 45 into a 1.5" circle. [8D] I have a very small handful of perfect vegas games under my belt now which is either 45 or 30 arrows in a row into that 10 ring (1.5" diameter) depending on format. My highest X count is 36 out of 45, (x's are .75" in diameter).
And that's all with high end specialized target gear........
I've talked with quite a fewbowhunters who are either EXTREME closet archery talents who can only seem to duplicate these feats by themselves,or they simply don't understandexactly whatworld class shooting looks like so they don't know where to stop the BS.
