It's not the group size that wins these leagues, its the distance estimation. A 3" group that is 7" above the10 ringdoesn't score very well . . . .

For outdoor 3d I agree with ya.
I don't mind fletching arrows, but I like to preserve them as well as I can.

RE: How tight is tight?
many years ago Id be happy hitting a soccer ball at 20 yards. Then it became a 4x6 index card at 20 yards. Last week my first robin hood at 30 yards shooting 2 arrows groups. My grouping and archery skills are now where Im shootong at different spots from 30 yards or less. This forum and everyone on here has helped me so much.

RE: How tight is tight?
I stopped grouping arrows a long time a go...If I go out and take a shot on my 3-D's and get a heart/lung shot on 1st arrow I leave it at that and when I practice useing the Morrell super duper 16 spot bag thats what I do...One arrow at each spot at differant yardages,same with the Block target...
I do however sight in new sightsat 20-30-40-50 and now 60yrds but Iam re thinking that as to going 15-25-35-45-55yrds then I will try and get good groups then after that its back to one shot one spot at unknow yrds...After all its that 1st arrow that counts in hunting.....But if I shot IBO or something then I would be a tight group getter.....

Just a little perspective about this....
The 9 ring on a Vegas target is 3 inches. Somebody who shoots 3" groups at 20 yards could easily put 2/3 oftheir arrows in the 10 ring (1.5 inches) and 1/3 oftheir arrows in the 9 ring (3 inches).That would equate to a score of 435 on a 450 Vegas round. That's pretty damn good. If you averaged 435, you would have been in the Top 5 of the HNI Indoor League this yearout of 20 people.
Remember, that's shooting THREE inch groups at twenty yards.
Here's the GOOD PART: Most of the people on this thread say they shoot TWO inch groups at twenty yards.
So it stands to reason that most of the people on this thread could EASILY shoot in the 440's on a Vegas 450 round (and do it with BOWHUNTING setups - even more impressive).
So, to all you guys who say you shoot 2" groups at 20 yards, grab a Vegas Target and post your scores! You should DOMINATE our league and give Buckeye a run for the top spot, if you can really do what you SAY you do.....
By the way, the AVERAGE score for our HNI league for all people across all weeks is around 420. That's a little worse than 3" groups at 20 yards.
