Shooting Question

Post by kd8jgu »

When I shoot paper targets I am all over the place
When I shoot 3d I can stack arrows
What is up with this messed up brain
May my aim be true and my arrow fly straight

LOL, you can't eat paper but 3D resembles REAL groceries, go figure.

Hmmm, are you picking a spot on a spot to aim at or aiming "at the target"?

The old adage aim small, miss small is great advice and easily forgotten. I notice when my groups are opening up that I am aiming at the orange center of my target. When I focus on the "X" in the center of the orange dot my wobbles and subsequently my groups tighten right back up.

Works for me, your mileage may vary :mrgreen:

If your scope has a Diopter adjustment check that.
It can help as eyes change over time.

Good call Waif, the cross hairs should be crisp and clear.

KD8jgu, I can't really see it either, but I know where it is supposed to be! :lol:
