Anybody got any advice to be able to shrink your groups? I mean I can shoot pretty good,but not as good as Id like to,I'd like to be able to stack them in there,like all arrows touching tight..I can consitantly keep all my arrows on a paper plate size area all the time and most of the time alot smaller than that,at 20 30 and 40 yards,but it just seems that my groups aren't getting any better,they've been the same way for the past year and a half..Granted im going into my 3rd archery season,so im still kinda new,but i shoot alot and I feel that my accuracy isn't improving..

Everything i've learend is off the internet or from you guys here about archery,I just wanna be as accurate as I can for deer hunting..So do you guys have any tips that a person should consider or look into to help improve their accuracy??
 
Check your bow tune . Sometimes a bow setup will be way off and accuracy will suffer no matter what you do .
If that's not the case , shoot with an experienced archer or coach that can help you . You need someone to check your setup and watch you shoot . This can't be solved on an internet forum .
Target panic is also a possibility .

Agree. Make sure your bow is shooting the best that it's capable of then if groups don't improve work on your form. All about being consistent and repeating the same thing over and over. An out of tune bow can be difficult to get good groups with even with perfect form.
 
I'd like to shoot with someone that knows their archery stuff,but I know no one that archery hunts besides my brother in law and he knows less than I do,he just thinks he knows it all..LOL Would anyone be interested in getting together on a weekend and shooting some and giving me some pointers?

This! I had a problem with this for a couple years, could not figure it out...I am a lefty, ended up being a right handed rest on a left handed bow! Found the right rest and now I am spending money on arrows!! :D
 
I went to a smaller pin diameter. I think it is .19 and this helped me. I keep my bow tuned and I shoot at far distances and this helps me improve my accuracy up-close.
 
I was actually going to start put this as a topic but what the heck..lol. What I've done this year is I fletched some Easton Epic 340's with a four Fusion Duravanes. I put a good helical on them, not quite sure what degree they are but from the pics below you can see. It immediatly shrunk my groups!! Ive always been told that a spinning arrow is more accurate and this done the trick!! Im stacking them in all the way out to 40yds! Cecil, give it a shot, hope it helps!!

Thats' prob. 5 degrees.

Maybe you could change your peep size, size of your pin. Lower your draw weight so your more steady.

I lowered my draw weight from 73 to 62 and my groups are always tight now.
