Traditional archery group question
« on: September 09, 2015, 07:14:26 PM »
Hello to all. To all the traditional bow hunters out there what, in your personal opinion, is a "good" practical group at 15, 20, 25 and 30 yards?

Silver dollar sized stickers and 1 arrow per sticker.  Grouping arrows just gets expensive.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

As long as you can hit what you are trying to.
One arrow at a time.
I ruined arrows and targets before I figured this out.
Practice for the first shot, not the follow up.

Don't put emphasis on yardage, got with comfort zone.

I have shot traditional for a number of years. The pressure to shoot silver dollars kills a lot of enthusiasm. I sell a life size target cover. I decided to see how many shots were in the kill zone. I have shot 500 times now and only 6 are not kill shots.

That is shooting at 18 yds. at a elk size target. That is as far as I can shoot in my shop. After 1000 shots I am going to take a picture of the target cover and post it.  My thought is that, too many guys get discouraged trying to hit the bulls eye when actually 99% of their shots  would be killing shots in real life.  Relax and enjoy shooting. That what traditional is all about, enjoyment.
