Backup to 30 yards and shoot. I bet they are a fuzz stiff,if you are a righty, but you're not gonna get much closer.  That's some fine shooting.

I don't know how far out your are.  It looks pretty good.  Your a little week but the fletching will cure that.  I would say you are a tad knock high though.  Good shooting though

Honest question....

What could you possibly gain by tweaking them further....for targets?  And....if you shoot groups like that all the time....I'm in awe.

Unless you stabbed the arrows in the target with your hand I'd say your doing pretty good.  Nice shootin.

Well a lot of people say you should be low and weak with your bare shafts so you have your nock too high and you're too stiff.  I would probably just shoot them that way.  What you really need to do now is shoot BH's and see what they say.

Yes, try some broadheads. If they shoot that good leave it alone.

When using the method as outlined by O.L. Adcock, you go by how your bare shafts group in relation to your fletched arrows instead of how your nocks are positioned in the target. Also, what your target is made of has an effect on how your nock position is in the target butt.

This is 19 yards?
Unless you plan on taking 50 yard plus shots while hunting leave it alone! It is more than good enough!
Great shooting!
Most "tweak" and "tune" until they are blue in the face and never shoot that good!
Go hunting!

Leave it alone, fletch the rest, and SHOOT!!

If I could do that EVERY time at 19-20 yds,I'd be a happy man.
