3" groups @ 25 yds?
 

Acceptable or not?

RE: 3" groups @ 25 yds?
 

yes

RE: 3" groups @ 25 yds?
 

good enough to hunt with. whether itis acceptable or not depends on how well you WANT to shoot.

RE: 3" groups @ 25 yds?
 

Yes.

And is probably better than most of the "internet" archers you find here.

I'll be new to bowhunting this fall and have been practicing since April with the bow so my opinion does not come from a lot of experience.
My thought is if that is what you are shooting consistantly from 25 yards from the position you will be shooting, with the clothes you will be wearing then it is acceptable from 25 yards. I can only relate it to hunting with a rifle. I get 2 inch groups consistantly at 100 yards and 3 inches at 150 using the positions and rests I will have in the field. Since a kill zone on a deer is at least 3 inches I consider myself good to 150 yards but not beyond. Mainly because I've never practiced more than 150 yard shots. Again, not alot of experience but it seems to make some sense.

Is that with fixed blade broadheads, or fieldpoints?

RE: 3" groups @ 25 yds?
 

I would say that is average to above average at that range. If you can do that consistantly at 25 or 30 yards I think that is good enough. The vitals on a deer are larger than that. Just make sure your range is right and you pick good shot placement. Learning deer anatomy is huge help. Depending on the angle of the deer you need to pick a different entry spot. I always aim for the exit and try and envision what the arrow will strike on the way thru the animal.

I agree with the above. Shoot some arrows the way you will hunt and see how well you do.
Wear a hat and face net if you are going to when you hunt. And the camos you intend on wearing. If you where gloves, you should practice with them to see if it changes your grip. And if you are shooting from an elevated stand by all means practice from one before you hunt. Even if it is just for a short period of time. This way you will now how the arrow impacts from a stand. Remember to bend at the waste.

field pts.

I think it's good enough. I use the "1 inch per 10 yard rule". 1 inch groups at 10 yards and so forth. I agree with the othe posts about shooting with your hunting set up and picking your entry and exits points according to the angle of the shot.

Try it with the heads you are going to hunt with and see what happens. It might open up a bit more.
