azshtr Report post Posted August 6, 2015 I cant even remember the last time I shot at 20 yards. I usually go right to 60 and bounce around between 40 and 60. I will also often only shoot one arrow from each yardage and mix in some odd balls like 53 or 47, etc. I never met a deer that stood there long enough for me to shoot a group at him, although I guess there may be one out there somewhere. Go do some 3d shoots too. Tons of fun and great practice as you only get 1 arrow per target, unless the course is empty. What pin do you use when the critter presents a shot at 5yards??? Most shooters have no clue when taking a super close shot, and since thats kinda the 'idea' of bow-hunting(getting up-close), it should be practiced... Something I will do to confirm muscle memory, Stand 3FEET in front of the target with bow held low, pick a spot on the target, CLOSE my eyes, draw and release... Very "Zen" like when you center punch that choisen spot... I always move after every shot, a step this way, a step that way, off one knee, then the other, "wrong" foot foward, etc... reason being: If you have shot from many possitions, it will not be a new thing when given a shot while out-of-perfect-"take-a-photo"-range-form... For the really close shots the 40 or 50 yard pin is accurate for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
