20 yard group diameter

With a recurve and target shooting form pretty tight, with a PAA target and a balanced out target bow  and sights tighter.  With Hill tempo and shot rhythms about a tennis ball for 6 arrows on a good set of six, a volley ball on a bad set of six.   I worry most about that first shot, I believe that shot versatility and shot timing to be more important than group size.  My last month's practice sessions before hunting season, I shoot and move with every shot.  shooting every shot in a different position. If I miss my mark by more than a couple of inches, I go retrieve my arrows and start over.  I shoot at different spots when doing this because the arrows come at the target from varied angles.

Can shooting carbon arrows tighten groups? So far I've only shot wood. I imagine carbon being more consistent would shoot better or is it not noticeable at 20 yards?

Some really good shooting on here.

I just got the Kanati pro quiver that straps on and have been shooting a bunch. Added enough weight to my bow that it feels less jumpy in my hand. Very nice quiver as well.

Good tuning and good form are what will improve accuracy, no matter what the choice of shaft material!

First off, I'm a relatively new trad shooter.  I just shot inside for the first time today.  Also the first time I've shot at paper.  Two months or so ago I started to really buckle down and practice as often as I could.  Here's my first group on paper.  I'm pleased with it.

What about 15 yds? 4" group acceptable for deer hunting?

As long as that 4" group is where you were aiming.
