I would say my groups areussually something like this not includingthe occasional flyer

20 yards - 2 inches
30 yards - 3 inches
40 yards - 4 inches

I don't practice further than that.

20 yards, about 2 inches.
30 yards, 3-4 inches.
40 yards, 4-6.
50 yards 6-10 inches.

I am getting better and better and I shoot 25-30 arrows per night. I think I will be all right to at least 30 yards by the time the big boy crosses in front of me.

Let me add that I dont believe that a person should be shooting at an animal, at a given range, unless they are capable of holding 3" groups at said range- CONSISTENTLY...
A 3 inch group is only off 1.5 inches from dead center in any given direction. That is actually pretty good, especially when you get out to 40, 50, and 60 yards. I know I will be there someday, just not quite yet at those distances.

Don't sell yourself short. If those are your groups...all the time.....you would hand Hopkins his lunch more often than not.

Those groups (cited)are nothing short of "remarkable".
