Yep, gr8 nailed it... I've come to accept the 1" rule for every 10 yards as being fairly proficient, e.g., 1" groups at 10 yards, 2" groups at 20 yards, 3" groups at 30 yards, etc.

Can you go hunting and be "proficient" with less? Sure. Most of the guys I hunt around can't come anywhere close to this standard... but that's what I aim for, and can maintain pretty well.

He we all know your Terry Rasdale jr but not everybody has your potential

I would say realisticly... At 20 yards for a novice shooter prob somewere around 2 to 3 inchs... An d as far as 30 yards goes... Unless you really feel good about the shot I would just let the deer walk... You will prob wind up with a F-up tracking job and not find the deer anyhow... 30 yards is a far shot in the woods dude;)
I agree but I tend to hold myself to a higher degree as I am my biggest competitor. I'm not happy if it isn't 2" at 40 yards and even 50 at times.

Probably but you'll have to pay full price..you just shot up your AARP card!
Hey, I have to do something with the crap that they send me. I’m still 41!!!!



And that was with a recurve right Bob?
No, that was with one of my longbows that I have been using for the past two seasons. This year, I’m using a Great Plains Recurve that I got in a trade for my Thunderstick MOAB longbow. Never cared for the MOAB for some reason, most people love them.

Actually Those are mechanicals tied closed with dental floss. But, I always have real ones ready to go in case a buck happens to be chasing a doe through the basement, better safe then sorry. (kidding) :D

Dang, I shot that group at 16 yards, but I can only shoot at deer up to ten????

Man, you guys are tough. I'd better stay home now and practice more group shooting.:D Ahh heck, arials are much more fun, butthey're aweful hard to group shoot, got a pheasant hunt planned for next year. ;)
