When I'm shooting from 20 yards all my arrows are touching each other. I stopped shooting that closeafter I split one of my $10arrows.[&:](I have pics to prove it...)

I think he is trying to prove something, he posted the same Q in the Bowhunting forum. Personally, if you can shoot a .5" group consitently at 20 yds, I think you need to be shooting in some comps. Post up some pics. We like proof.

We don't shoot groups. Too much chance of damaging arrows which are not cheap. We shoot one, go get it, and shoot again. Good exercise too.

i dont think its possible to shoot 1/2" groups at 20 yards. Most arrows are 5/16" diameter, and to get the tightest group, 1 in the center with 4 around it, that means at least 3 are in a line. 5/16"x3=15/16" group. The slim carbons are about 9/32", so with those the tightest groups would be 27/32".
Unless he meant all the arrows are 1/2" apart from eachother which is very possible cause I shoot groups like that myself.
