Sounds like a bad case of "aim small, miss small".

I only thought bad questons were the ones not asked.

aime small mis small? Does this mean that I am not consintrating as much on the larger targets, of what?

I do not know, thats why I have asked!

pleas tell me some one can help.

I know that the X on the target is the same size as the stiker. So I am still aming small!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put a orange sticker on the X and focus on that.

There are no bad questions. You are correct on that. I'm sorry, you misunderstood my sense of humor so I edited. They say, "aim small, miss small". A 1/4" dot at 30 yards is aiming small if you ask me. Hence the "bad case". It was a joke. Put one of those 1/4 inch dots in that 5 spot once. What happens? When you aim at the small dot, your not actually holding on the dot. You are focusing so hard on seeing your arrow hit that spot, your subconsious puts the pin there when you let the shot happen. When you put the pin on a 5spot, let it float. Focus on the X like you do on the orange dot. Burn a hole in the X with your mind and let it happen. The arrow will go there.

Agine thanks!

I guess the good news is..... deer dont come with spots. Well, at least legal ones dont. When shooting the bigger spots on the 5 spot, put something smaller on the spots, like a peice of tape or something. See if you can hit that. It could be either a case of you concentrating more on the smaller spots, or some type of target panic. There was a post about target panic not too long ago. You may wanna search that out. But, again, if you can hit a small spot, you could aim for a hair on that buck that walks by. It could be worse
