30 yard grouping with the bear attitude

[Lawn and Tree Barber]

Today I was outside shooting my bear attitude for the first time after getting it tuned. What do you guys think about this grouping at 30 yards? I'm not real sure how accurate bows are suppost to be so lets hear your honest opinion. This is my 2nd year bow hunting. Last year I didn't really know much so all the tips I could get will help me out a lot.

The old rule is if you can group inside a 8" circle you can hunt at that distance. At 30yds you should be putting them all inside that center circle in my opinion. Technique is a huge factor when shooting a bow. Make sure you are shooting the same each time and taking your time between shots. If you plan on hunting out to 30yds practice shooting at 40 or even 50yds. Shooting at further distances will tightin up the shorter groups.

How long in between when taking shots? ?3 been taking 30 seconds-1 min after taking the next shot. Should I wait longer?

Practice, practice, practice and with enough of it you can close that group up. If i was consistently shooting that at 40-45 i'd settle for it but, 30 i would tighten it up just a little

Everyone is different. What I'm really getting at is fatigue causes poor form aka creates bad habits. I typically take a minute or so between shots sometimes longer. Also, don't just pull up and release. Act like you are hunting and focusing on a deer. Hold on target for a good while before letting it fly. The best advice I was given is aim small miss small.

Put a piece of tape, about the size of a quarter, on the target and use that for your aiming point. this should tighten up your group.
