[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 180505, member: 337"] I shot lots of league and 3D back in the 80s and did pretty well I have found that I no longer have the patience for shooting teeny/tiny groups - I just pull the trigger when the right pin goes wandering past the desired POI - ha ha ha - very sloppy approach I know works for me though - I shoot surprisingly good groups using this rag tag approach Why? I believe it more accurately represents hunting condition shots for me. I am rarely if ever rested, calm and steadied for a bow shot in the field. I've usually been crawling, sitting/kneeling in some horrible freaking position, calling, just cresting a hill, stalking a mulie in 40 mph wind so I can get close whilst being clumsy, etc... so my pin is NEVER so stationary that I have the luxury of slowly squeezing it off like a bench rifle and being surprised by the shot - I just tap the trigger when it drifts through the good spot. Maybe my 10 plus barebow years has just crept back in to dominate my brain - I don't know. Keep in mind that I've never once been bowhunting up in a tree - so my experiences are all spot/stalk/calling - all my antelope and deer kills were ground shots where nothing ever seems perfect for shooting.
