Groups?
 
I know this was just posted on here somewhere recently but I will bring it up again. What do you call a good group at 20yds, 30, 40 ect? Someone posted in inches I believe. Keep in mind I have only been shooting since Jan. '05 so I very much still consider myself a novice.

Thanks, LT

I wouldn't settle for anything less than this at 20 yards, but I shot it at 40 yards.

How big is your circle there Rob? Just curious as to how well you can see the spot at 40yds. Not kidding, I would really like to know. Also, is this in perfect light or near dark conditions?

Thanks, LT

1" per 10 yds

Oh and by the way Rob, do you think it helps your groups due to the fact you are shooting at a target with a white background and not picking a spot on a brown/grey deer? Just curious.

If you can shoot three to four arrows in a tight group as small as an bottle cap at thirty yards , your doing great.

I have always heard the whole pie plate routine!

Myself I am more like Rob, you should be able to hit like that at 20yds and as you go back to 30-40 you can give urself an inch or so of play.

But what it really comes down to is,DO YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE WITHYOUR SHOTS???????????
If so your good to go! If not stay out of the woods! (im not being smart)

Teejay, that sounds about like what I get.

RdHunter, I ain't that good yet.(Not on a consistent basis anyway)

WesternMd, the pie plate thing I can handle. Even in near dark conditions at 35 to 40 yds.:D

I am totally confident in my shooting at animals.
