OUTSIDER Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Okay....Why in the world are my groups at 30 better than my groups at 20 yds????? It makes no sense to me, i must be overthinking a 20 yd shot.. my 40 are almost better than my 20, why is this happening?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Oh man the possibilities......................it could be a number of things. Do the arrows see to be flying straight or are they wobbling? Alot of people simply don't concentrate at 20 as hard as they do at longer distances.

sskybnd Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 yeah try to concentrate at the 20 yards, your 20 yards would almost be touching, if not touching, the closer you are to the target the tighter your group should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I do the same thing if Im not careful. I can shoot at 40 yards all night and be doing great, then move up to 20 and shoot worse than I did at 40. I think its because Im so much closer that I dont try as hard and follow through. I have this mind set that "oh this is a chip shot" and then I blow it lol. So your not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTSIDER Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 My arrows/bow are pretty tuned into to each other, they fly true, have had a few people stand behind me as i shoot to watch them, they agree, they look good. It may be me just not concentrating as well as i should at 20...it gets frusturating i know that. This is for my hunting rig, but i wanted to ask in tihs room. I used to shoot ASA hunter class but dont have the time any more, i have just recently overcame target panic, now the grouping woes....yack. As long as i can make good shots on animals i am happy, but i wanted to ask the question. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 One thing to try. Do this about 15 to 20 times. Load an arrow and go thru your routine. Draw and put the pin on the spot with your finger just in front of the trigger to simulate like you are going to shoot. Don't shoot though. Hold it for 15 to 20 seconds. Just concentrate on the target and the pin floating in the X. Let down and wait a min or so before doing the routine again. It will teach your body not to think so much about the trigger as keeping the pin in there. I've seen it help several with target panic as well.
