1/2" 20 d groups is world class.

Mine are this size...

WOWO can you get 5 arrows in a 1/2" diameter without putting one on top the other!

Each of those targets has 15 shots into it. That's why I posted it. It's realistic....and NO....I don't think you can get 5 arows into a 1/2" group. That's the other reason I posted the photo.

My "guess" is the "X" ring is about a 1" circle. If you could get your arrow into that ring every time.....you'd be THE world class shooter.

Here is one of my better 23 yard groups. It deserved a picture though.


Here is my son's 15 yard group. Very acceptable.

I don't shoot groups. What's the point? When you're hunting you only get one shot, so when I practice I only take one shot.

Hunting is only one part of archery to me, not the whole.

No wonder there is global warming with so much hot air around here. Judging by all these answers, I must be one of the worlds worst shots[8D]

On a good day i hit exactly where I aim at 20 yards...but day in, day out, in hunting situations......99% of the time? I probably can only count on 4-5" groups(and I dont shoot more than 1 arrow at a time either)

Interestingly, does anyone shoot better at 30 or 40 than 20 yards? I do sometimes. I know it is a concentration thing, but it is still feels weird. How do I overcome that?

Jeff, I sit here with a Vegas target in hand the actual X is 3/4". The total 10 ring (cutting lines) is 1 & 9/16ths".

And I'm in full agreement Groups are easy. Consistant Groups of Groups is a whole different game. Both mental and physical.

Thanks, GR8. I was guesstimating. If you could shoot 1-9/16" goups at 20 yds (every time).....you could make some good pocket change shooting a bow
