Just wondering from people on here with experience in bow hunting what distances do you practice at and what type of groups do you try to average? I've been practicing at about 30 yards and getting about 3 inch groups. Just wondering what kind of groups would be considered good.

Want a reality check. Stick your broad head on. Put your target bag out shoot 1 arrow a day at different yards with your broadhead. Then you'll know how it will unfold. Your only getting 1 shot in the field,

the first arrow is the only one that counts...

you should develop the mentality that the first arrow is the only one that matters.

I know lots of people home in on their groups. But I've never figured out what archery activity there is where groups matter. What matters is hitting your point of aim. If you can hit a single 3" target at 30 yards with the first arrow you shoot at it almost every time, that's good. It doesn't matter if it's hunting or 3D competition, the first arrow is the only one that counts. Sometimes you get a second shot at a deer but I wouldn't bank on it. IT'S JUST MY OPINION but I think you should develop the mentality that the first arrow is the only one that matters. When deer season approaches, I take one arrow out back, shoot it, and go back in the house. But not everyone is as OCD about it as me.

When I got serious about 3D, I moved down to a 3/4" square out to 50 yards. I'm a serious believer that the bigger your target is, the bigger your "group" is.

But for hunting, that's not necessary. I've killed a bunch of deer with a bow and none were over 26 or 28 yards (now I can't remember which).

Korean method? Please explain
