    Do you primarily shoot Traditional, Compound or X-bow? Compound
    How many years have you been serious about archery? 3
    How often do you typically practice? Close to the season everyday

    What radius groupings do you expect to shoot when practicing at the following distances? When I say expect let’s say you assume you will hit >80% within. Assume practicing under perfect conditions (no wind, etc.)

    10 Yards- Dont shoot this much but 2"
    20 Yards- 2-3"
    30 Yards (if applicable)- 4-6"
    40 Yards (if applicable)- N/A

    Ive never measured groups before so those are estimates.

    First, answer the following questions:

    Do you primarily shoot Traditional, Compound or X-bow? compound
    How many years have you been serious about archery? 4
    How often do you typically practice?everyday


    10 Yards- 2 inches
    20 Yards-2 inches
    30 Yards (if applicable)- 3-4 inches
    40 Yards (if applicable)- never shoot this far but i assume about 5 inches

    when i dont shoot a consistent group i get pissed haha

    How many years have you been serious about archery? 3 yrs

    How often do you typically practice? Lately? I've shot twice since October minus the occasional ten yd shots down in the basement.

    What radius groupings do you expect to shoot when practicing at the following distances? When I say expect let’s say you assume you will hit >80% within. Assume practicing under perfect conditions (no wind, etc.)



    Assuming if I were to go out and shot today:

    10 Yards- 1"-1.5"
    20 Yards-2.5"-3"
    30 Yards (if applicable)- 3.5"-4"
    40 Yards (if applicable)-4"-5"

    I know I'm capable of better than that, but that would be my guess as to my averages.

    Do you primarily shoot Traditional, Compound or X-bow? Compound
    How many years have you been serious about archery? 24 yrs
    How often do you typically practice? 2-3 times per week

    What radius groupings do you expect to shoot when practicing at the following distances? When I say expect let’s say you assume you will hit >80% within. Assume practicing under perfect conditions (no wind, etc.)

    Edit: I am talking about how far you typically are away from the X (>80%). What do you expect to shoot within from what you are aiming for.

    10 Yards- 1.50"
    20 Yards- 2"
    30 Yards (if applicable)- 2.5" - 3"
    40 Yards (if applicable)- 3" - 4"
    50-70 Yards- 5" - 6"
