how does this look

At 20 yds they should be touching or very close to that. At 35 yds my groups, I can circle my middle finger & thumb around. Take your time when shooting. Pay strict attention to form. form is key, it leads to consistency.First concentrate on keeping that bow perfectly still vs aiming. Keeping that bow still will improve your shooting. Then learn to aim.
Also, remember where you set yourrelease hand &repeatthe placementexactly w/ea shot. This will take time & practice.

I think my form is good, because i have had you guys on here help me a few times, but i might not be holding my bow still like i should, i will work on that, i think some of it has to do with the heat down here, or maybe that is an excuse i dont know, but i will work on it.
thanks

I think you can kill a deer with that shooting. But when you use something that big as your "target" you're more apt to shoot at the wholetarget as opposed to a spot. Shooting at something small makes you a more accurate shooter.

^ I see what your are saying, so if do grab a object i should grap a small one? right, i guess "aim small miss small" is sort of what your saying.

when holding your bow, don't grip it. pretend as if your pulling the bow apart. in other words, create pressure on the bow, pushing it away, & pulling the sting. this will help steady it. if you want I can send you a excellent article that really helped me w/my shooting & have been following the author's guide for a yr now.let me know if you want me to email it to you?

I def agree with the aim small, miss small theory. If you want to see how you would do on a deer i would suggest a 3D deer target. Then you will be able to see how you would do on a deer. If a 3D target is too pricey for you (a good one is over $120 usually) you could try what I do, get one of those five dollar cardboard cut outs of a deer and shoot at that. they usually have the vitals marked and they are smaller then most real deer so if you are getting good groups on the cardboard you will have a little more room for error on an actually deer. Other then that keep practicing and stress good form.
