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.

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.

All good advice was given here. Looks like you had a complete "pass through" on your styrofoam deer!

that is what i have been doing i am shooting a 3-d deer target, i just stuck the plate on their, but i think my groups will tighten up as i shoot more and more, and those werent field points those were BH's, i know that can make a difference. i was experimenting alittle after i shot that group with my breathing while shooting, and i think that could have been a problem because when ever i shot i was always breathing, but i took a deep breath and held it then shot and my groups were getting better. but i broke one of my arrows and i found out that one of my broadheads is bad so i have to buy some more arrows and BH's and then after that i will post up some more groups
thanks
