I bought a target and went to a buddies today and shot 20, 35, and 50 yards. Once I dialed in my sights, my 2 shot groups were consistant 3" at 20, 4" at 35, and 5" at 50. Now, I know thats good enough for a deer, but "good enough" is not good enough for me. I have more respect for the animal just to be happy at "good enough".
Now, I'm never gonna shoot a deer further than 50 (and only at 50 if the thing is COMPLETELY relaxed), but what would be considered "excellent" groups say up to 70 yards? What is a reasonable goal to achieve? I could go out and have the goal to robin hood every arrow, but thats not reasonable, and I would never achieve it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW, I dont have any friends into archery, and nowhere to go to see really good archers in action.
