RE: 40 Yard Group???
 

Lord have mercy what you patterning a shot gun:)


Just kidding at 40 yards for a newbie thats good shooting and much better than some I have seen that have been shooting for a long time;):D

RE: 40 Yard Group???
 

Thats a very good group, but wait, you're shooting a Mathews so thats to be expected! :)

RE: 40 Yard Group???
 

good shooting there chief!

RE: 40 Yard Group???
 

Your ON FIRE BUD!!!!!! man yeha I like to see snipers WOW!!!!

ALL I CAN SAY IS WATCH OUT DEER AND ELK!!!!

now sight in at 70 yards thats my farthest pin cool.

RE: 40 Yard Group???
 

If I put a 70 yard pin in my bow, I'll need another sight. The viper sight I bought only came with three. Still, I like a challenge.:D

RE: 40 Yard Group???
 

Heres the deal cheif buy some pins for your sight or mark your peep sight then raise it until your 40 yard pin is a 70

right now my bow is set up to go 100 yards and hit a hay bail

LC,
That is great shooting for 40yds, for an experienced guy, fora newbie that has only been shooting 5 wks, you may have more potential as a target shooter than you realize!!!

RE: 40 Yard Group???
 

Great shooting! Looks like your getting her dialed it pretty good, especially @ 40 yrds. The real test is when your first buck walks out in front of you (not sure if you hunted yet). Your not quit as relaxed as you are shooting targets and that 70 pound draw will feel like 100..;). Great shooting though, keep it up and head to a couple shoots....You may like it!
I have never been to one, If I can dial in on the right bow for me....I may try!

Simple rule of thumb that most hunting setups like to see is 1" per 10 yards.


20 yards= 2" group
30 yards= 3" group
40 yards= 4" group


YOU ARE WAY AHEAD OF THE LEARNING CURVE.

I think you got a shop that set you up well and explained things nicely.Plus your military background doesn't hurt either.;)

RE: 40 Yard Group???
 

Let's put it this way......

Our range has shots to 43 yds (indoors). I've seen an average of 10 points per target win every 3D shoot, there, except 1 in the last two years. All of your arows would be in the 10 rings of MOST targets.

If you can shoot those groups at 40 yds......it would stand to reason you could tighten them at shorter distances. Let's call a spade a spade........that group is better than "good".
