I magic marker a quarter size dot in mine. And just think, some people strive to group inside a paper plate.

Ditto. Aim Small Hit Small.... or something like that... Most bag targets have the 2 ro 3 " bullseyes. As long as you're focusing on a big bullseye, that's exactly how your groups will be. Buy a .99$ package of stick'em dots.... You can use 'em on any type of target and it will help shrink your groups.

BTW Bob....It absolutely amazes me how you trad-guys get those small of groups on instinct....

I use neon post-it notes. Cheap and a good sized target.

Trust me, if I could shoot that tight of group (that was at 23 yards) everytime I shot, I'd be shooting aspirin out the air along side Byron Ferguson. Only problemI have isreality. [:@]

I foundthose expanding ear plugs work really well. Twist it between your fingers and place it in the target.

At the archery shop we put a ping-pong ball on a string and shoot at those. Lots of fun and pretty darn tough from 40 yds...for me at least!

I never saw a deer walking around with little dot stickers in thier vitals I just shoot at the spots on the block target or do the 3D thing.

I put the 1" dots on my target. It has improved my shooting overall.
