Swamphunter Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Need to adjust my pin height, but 40 is pretty dialed in for Wyoming! 50 isn't much worse... but I have plenty o' time yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Is that with broadheads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 If you got the room...I'd sight a pin in for 60...shoot that for awhile...then move up to 50 and 40. They'll seem MUCH easier! Thats not a bad group at 40 yards with broadheads...will def. kill! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 you know what they say, aim small miss small. try putting a small dot in the center of that circle and see if your groups dont tighten up a little. also try shooting from a sitting position and from kneeling. since we will most likey be shooting from inside blinds. also try to find a deer target to practice at and shoot a little 3D as well.

Mirage Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thats nice, I bet you can realy get those goups tight at 20 and 30 now. good job. That guys is right pratice from 60 and 40 will seem soo easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Is that with broadheads? I agree he should be dialing in with broadheads at 40yds. Out past 35yds your "flys like a fieldpoint" broadhead will almost positively start to show some difference. Mine actually hit about 3" lower at 40. That's ok, it's consistent and I know it. But I doubt these were broadheads on this target. Trying to shoot groups with broadheads can get extremely expensive. If you can afford to do that Swampy I'm a little jealous. I'd love to shoot for groups with broadheads. Me, I do them one or two at a time at different dots on the target.

m gardner Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 Make sure you go out on very windy days and shoot. The wind almost always blows there and you need to know how to shoot in it. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Are those arrows pink? Purple... and be careful, every year I let either my son, or my daughter pick my fletching color. Guess who picked last time?? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Great Grouping Ken, but I'd lower that 40 yrd. pin just a tad and go for the center of that circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted July 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Great Grouping Ken, but I'd lower that 40 yrd. pin just a tad and go for the center of that circle. Absolutely Buckee...plus I want to tighten that group up a bit more. I'm sure that adding my mechanicals it will push the group around a bit also, but hey, I haven't shot at 40+ yards in 10 years! In NY state our archery season is we still have thick green leaves on the trees and 20 yards is a long shot sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Nice consistent group there Swampy. I think you're well on your way to a good group at 60 yards before you know it. My best bet is... RANGEFINDER!!! Should take out some of the frustration if you already know the distance you're trying to miss at. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskybnd Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 hey ken, i know what you mean. my longest shot in many years was only 32 yards, now im looking at a target at 60 yards thinking man that is a long shot, and the deer target sure looks smaller too..

Swamphunter Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Ain't that the truth! What broadhead are you using? I have been using the Rocky Mountain SP3's (mechanicals)....can't find em' as easily anymore. Might have to switch it up a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
