You know, there're YouTube videos of archers taking down prey with heart and headshots. Seeing your grouping helps me see how that can be done.

When I was still shooting a bow we just shot at beer cans in the back yard.

I would have quickly tired of trying to find the arrows buried in the grass!
Years ago, I used straw bales but as time went on full penetration, even with tight bales, became common and I had to buy a commercial target.
I never shot that many arrows at once into a target----it would do far too much damage to the arrows when they would inevitably hit each other. Those buggers are expensive and I'm cheap![]()

just like anything else you get better with practice. I have been shooting 2-3 flights a day for the past week. It's been really windy out so I have had to really work on holding my bow correctly and steady. I can't believe I just shot this grouping in swirling gusty winds. On a calm day I have never done it, but today every arrow hit the center bullseye from 30 yards out.

Just remember - when you Robin Hood, you are out TWO arrows.
I don't know about you, but when I'm on, all I see is that center of the target. It is like nothing else exists and I can't hear anything or feel anything or think about anything and that target is RIGHT THERE, huge and in front of me. It doesn't happen often but when it does, I can't miss. I love the few times that has happened.
