Default what do you think?

Hey all as you can tell I am a rookie to bow hunting. I have been practicing for about 2 months and I am getting better I think. My groups are nothing consistent like some of you all shoot, but i think this deer would be dead, tell mewhat u think. Oh yeah, this was the first time shooting at a deer target and I was shooting off my deck about 25 feet off the ground and about 22 yards away.

Yup, thats a dead deer. The more you practice, the smaller your groups will be.

That is a dead target deer.
Now the test is when the real thing steps out and you have to make the shot! Keep practicing so it becomes second nature. Good luck.

You are well on your way. Like someone said, try to keep with the arrows on the right so you miss that shoulder bone.

Really, it's a rather large group for 22 yards after two month of practice, assuming you're shooting a release and compound. I'd be willing to bet a couple half hour sessions with someone who really knows what they're doing would shrink that group in half. I'm serious, with todays equipment your problems are probably all form. A good teacher will see what you're doing wrong immediately and give you easy repairs. For most,a six inch group at 22 yards easily becomes a 12 inch group when macho buck shows up.
