Today during my lunch break I went out to make my first serious attempt to sight my 50 yard pin in. At first, I was all over the place. To be expected. But after a few 3 shot volley's, my groups started to tighten up. My last group was about 3 inches, so I figured I would stop on a positive note. Is 3 inches a good group at 50 for a novice who's been shooting less than a year?

Three inch is a great group at 50 yards. Keep up the good work.

Its a great group.

Thanks. Honestly, I think luck had a bit to do with it. I should add that I would never even think about launching an arrow at an animal at this distance. I plan on shooting at my first 3D shoot next month and need my 50 and 60 yd pins dialed in. I guess some of the targets are out there a ways.

If you practice, 50 yards is not that far of a shot. But you must be comfortable with it to attempt it.

I would feel comfortable shooting at an animal at 50 if I can make that shoot consistently. 3 inch group is great, but screw on a broad head and see if you can do that 3 for 3.

I was using broadheads. 100 gr Magnus Stingers.

Good shooting for me is a group the size of the vitals. I dont shoot competition so its not neccessary. As long as your consistantly a kill shot on the range that is all that matters.

3" group at 50 is sweet!!

3" group at 50 yards with broadheads is excellent. Congrats, hopefully you can maintain that consistency. Good shooting!

With broadheads that is much better than average for sure.

Think I need a sight that I can actually see my target with at that range.

Good job but you can do better. Keep it up until you can make 3" groups at 90 yards. Do that and you will be ruining arrows at 50.
