I hear people say they shoot good groups a lot. Being as new to archery as I am, I have no idea what a good group is. What size do you consider to be a good group at 20, 30, and 40 yards. I have yet to shoot more than a few arrows past 20 yards. I can easily get groups at 20 yards to group in a 3inch diameter. Is this considered good, bad, or fair? I don't want to be moving back too soon.

What is that a 2-foot group? You better start practicing if you hope to be able to hunt this fall with any chance of success. Only 1 out of 5 is even anywhere near the center of that target.

Simply learn proper form and do everything the exact same wayfor each shot, consistancy rules. I thinkone of the very most important things to remember for accuracyis to keep on that target until that arrow hits!

Consistently shooting your arrows in a 3 inch circle is definetly good. For deer hunting, I like to say that if you can consistently put your arrows in a 6 inch circle then you should be pretty good, considering you can hit the vitals of a deer consistently.

Depends on ability and your standard. It is different for abilities.
20 yds five arrows touching or close. Little space between them.
30 yds. 4 in circle
40 yds 5 in circle
50 yds 7-8 in circle
That is Mine. I wish it were better. 40 yd max for hunting with a clear open shot.

Same here, I just wish that at 60 yards i could keep a 6 inch circle!
i agree, that is pretty much the same idea i use

I like to divide the yardage by 10, then make it inches.
so a good 30 yrd group would be in a 3" circle. anything better than that is great.
example: 45 yrds, 45/10 = 4.5" group.
