I've been working hard to improve my form and shooting over all. I'm taking lessons and read Core Archery by Larry Wise. Below is a group I shot today at 60 yards while setting my 60 yard mark on my HHA. Is this a decent group? I would not hunt at this distance, but want to get solid accuracy at long distance.

I never have had as much fun shooting a bow as I have shooting long distance. There is something addicting about hitting a spot at long distance. I honestly might spend a large portion of my practice at 60 yards and further. When I have my HHA really dialed in, I think I might shoot at 70 to 75 yards.
 
Plus shooting at longer ranges helps make those 30 and 40 yd shots easy as pie...I also love to shoot at 50 and 60 yds..
 
I can't wait to shoot at distances longer than 60 yards!

I think FITA is 77 yards, that would be fun and I hope I have enough room on my HHA to shoot that distance.
 
Decent! I would have to say Yes. I think I would need a cut off man to get anywhere near there at 60 yds. LOL

Ok...I've got some feedback and one person told me they can hit a Skoal can with a each arrow in a group at 60 and another told me I've got some work to do so time to practice.

That is some shooting right there.
I can't do that.
 
It isnt bad, and far better than alot of people I see shoot. But once you practice more and get comfortable shooting at that distance it will improve. Have form and release at the longer distances to me is key. I am sure your next post showing 60 yard groups will be tighter.

Keep at it, you've got the "bug"!
