Default Just wondering?

All right, an uncle passed away and left me a pse baby g its a year and half old. In a moment of newer is soo much better stupidity I sold my other bow. Now I am no master target shooter or anything, but with the old bow I could shoot 1" to 1.5" groups...no matter how hard I try I can't get any better than 2 to 2.5 at 20 yards...With bow season quickly approaching do i dare even enter the woods with those grouping. And do you guys have any thoughts or suggestions on the bow

I agree nothing too bad with 2" group's ,but sometime's it take's change's in form in order to tighten thing's up a bit .but I'd hunt ,but just be sure of your target and effective range's first before you shoot.

I too think 2" is pretty good! Just keep practicing and keep your form in check! My mighty mite makes me keep my form in check! Good luck!

With the aggressive geometry of the bow it isn't an easy bow to shoot.

It has an extremely reflexed riser plus a super short brace height. That makes for an extra touchy bow.

2" groups are fine. Get out there and good luck!

Yeah unless you're after 4" tall deer don't sweat that accuracy.......

One thing about that bow to keep in mind has to do with what Buckeye said, all that reflex and the very low brace height make your clothing fit a priority. Pay attention to your bow arm sleeve when the cooler weather gets here.......that bow is the mother of all wrist slappers so keep the puffy jacket away from it.[:-]

You're not getting ready for the Olympics, jsut deer hunting. Hell, a deer's heart is at least 2" x 2" so your groupings are in the kill zone every time. Get out there and bag a buck in honor of your Uncle!

a deer has a pretty big area to shoot at to kill the deer. heart shot is the best but if you hit the lungs and double lung him, he's going down 2"-2.5" group is good enough for deer
