This will take muscle memory and repitition by practice. Perfect practice, not just flinging arrows. Pretend every shot is a deer an pressure yourself like it's the buck of a lifetime.

If u can achieve the 4ish" group average at 30, than striv to better it by tweaking YOU and YOUR shot process.

Lots of people might say a 5" group is too big at 30 yards, but being a competitive shooter, I will tell u from truth that most people cannot keep a whole days worth of arrows in that kind of group.

Remember, that one bad shot is likely to appear when staring at an animal u intend to kill.

Have fun with shooting, but also work to get better, not just "good enough" as many say they are...
