I'm always challenging myself to shoot better or to improve my form but right now my groups don't seem to be getting any smaller and I'm wondering why I've hit a glass ceiling....
For me accuracy is determined not in the group size but in stump shooting. For hunting practice walking around and being able to shoot at different targets, multiple and longer distances, and focusing on the arrow that is "in the bow" as it is the only shot of importance is key.
I think standing and shooting "groups" can lead to great form building, but for hunting practice it is way overrated. I have shot for years where that was the measurement, How well are you grouping? My interest is in hunting, so the "bag" is for form practice usually close or with eyes closed. In the woods with the pine cones, dirt banks, leaves, cans, plastic bottles, and any of the various small game "critters" is the best way, to know your hunting accuracy. We are human and have good and bad days.
