Tight Group Challenge | Targets 30 - 100 YDS

Alright what's up guys welcome back to the channel we got to talking the other day and we're thinking what's our effective range really it's all relative depends on the situation the weather the wind the lighting whether or not you're hiking up hiking down you know out of breath out of shape haven't practiced so we thought hey it'd be pretty cool we make a target bring it out here to the range we'll set it up to where we shoot 30 yards back to 100 yards we'll have rings on there that corresponds with the yardage that we're shooting so for example three inch spot for 30 yards four inch ring for 40 so on and so forth all the way out to 100 it does get a little tight a 10 inch group at 100 is actually really good so we'll kind of shoot it just kind of see where we're at it's early before way before hunting season so hopefully we can do this kind of get a baseline we're gonna be doing a lot of shooting in the next few months we do want to come back and try this again and see see how our groups compare see uh if all the shooting we did actually helped us let's go check out the target i'll kind of explain what we're doing we just shot 30 yards kind of give us our starting point i've got a target here with a three inch orange dot so if we go at it strict i didn't even make it past 30 yards this dot is is three inches so all of my arrows should be within this three inch orange circle obviously i have one in the four which that would be the four inch circle for 40 yards so you can see we have four inch circles all the way out to 24 inch circle so it'll kind of give us an idea of where we're at as far back as we go you know 60 70 80 90 yards kind of see how big of a group that we get consistency wise like i said we'll come back in a couple months we'll we'll do this again and hopefully we have a lot better results we just saw travis's first shots at 30 so i got one in the middle but i'm hoping to get some more in the middle here today in the 10 ring but we're going to be working our way back all the way back to about 100 yards today let us know in the comments section today what you guys think a good group is at 30 yards 40 yards 100 you know what your guys's effective range is that you would actually feel confident going out in the field and shooting whether it's a deer you know pig whatever it is you're hunting we're looking to get you guys involved in uh in what we're doing out here with the videos that we're shooting so your feedback is super appreciated be sure to comment like the video and subscribe that really helps us out a lot uh and drives us to keep shooting more content for you guys and we love hearing from you so let us know exactly what you're looking for and we'll see if we can incorporate that into some upcoming shoots that we have planned thanks again for watching and enjoy the video all right so we just shot at 40 here's travis's grouping right here so let us know how you guys what you guys consider a grouping measurement so obviously we're aiming at the middle of the orange you know target and he's got one that's down here to the six ring so we're considering this a six inch group you know we've seen other people that do like you know they would just compare these three arrows and say oh they're all within three inches of each other but they were aiming here so we don't like to do that uh kind of the reason why we did this target with the numbering like this was to show that okay this arrow right here is six uh from the actual center so that's how we're measuring our groups uh today if you guys you know don't do it like that no problem let us you know let us know how you do it and why you prefer to do it that way go over to mine i clearly have a seven from the center you know these two shots were a lot better but my worst shot was here in the seven so i'm calling this uh you know a seven from center so that's my grouping we're not trying to have a nice grouping way up here in the left corner when we're aiming here hopefully that makes sense shot 50 winds picking up a little bit the first two shots were glad so i had to aim off aim off on the right so hopefully ryan can do that do a little bit better group than mine i think mine's a six inch group at 50 so still not quite there all right just finished shooting 60 and the wind was really picking up probably somewhere in between 10 to 15 miles an hour give or take and it kind of fluctuates obviously it's not constant so my first shot went way left and that's why you'll see i'm pretty far left on my first shot because that the wind got that one then i tried to adjust for it so i held to the right about six inches or so which is probably way too much anyway but uh so my second shot went way right so i got a way left shot and a way right shot because it was windy then the wind stopped um and i didn't adjust for the the wind stopping so and then the third shot i finally got where i uh where i was happy with it and uh i didn't really adjust much for the wind at all on that one i held maybe two inches to the right and that one turned out pretty good so yeah the wind does play a big factor uh when you're at 60 yards and beyond especially uh you'll see how travis's shots over here he shoots in the wind a lot more he's used to shooting here at Arrancos this is uh kind of his home range and he realized that the wind was you know gonna play a factor at 60 yards and adjusted for it so when you know what you're doing in the wind that's what your groups can look like when you don't really know what you're doing in the location you're at uh that's what you'll get so you'll get pretty subpar results if you're not adjusting for the wind and once again the wind's not always going to be blown it's fluctuating it's on and off so you really got to know you know kind of on the fly and adjust your hold for it you know whether you're holding right when the wind's blowing to the left or you're holding left when the wind's blowing to the right uh you know before you release that shot because it can stop at any moment and you'll get pretty bad results so i got a 10 over here but when you look over here follow this line oh that is an 18 travis group size at 60 we got a a six so he's within that six ring that's a really good group tree back here behind the target i'm kind of using that as my windicator i wasn't watching it really on the first shot i held off at about four or five inches we're shooting 80 yards and the thing wasn't moving at all i looked at it after i shot you could tell my first shot right there on the very right uh held off about this far about four or five inches but there was no wind i wasn't really watching the tree like i was for these two the tree wasn't moving at all so i just held dead nuts right on right on the center so 80 yards right on the line of the eight inch diameter so looks like i passed that one go check out ryan's he would have had an eight inch group i did not even notice the tree until we were walking down here and travis told me that that's what he was using for windage so i'm definitely gonna be looking at that when we shoot 100 here in a couple minutes but as far as the group goes first one was pretty far to the right and the second two were pretty good they were within the within the five so i'm happy i know there was wind so i know it's not just me to blame now we'll go shoot 100 and we'll do multiple today's tightest uh tightest group challenge i guess you could call it we finished off three arrows each at 100 yards uh needless to say i'm pretty happy with my group make sure you subscribe to the channel uh we noticed that like 95 of you guys that watch um which we appreciate don't subscribe so if you can click that button uh it doesn't hurt anything uh make sure you like it and comment below if you have something to say uh if you're critical of our shooting uh tips pointers we don't care let us know if you did make this target how you did you know shoot at 100 yards and see what kind of groups you can do so it looks like i'd say three inch group at or six inch group of three arrows at 100 i'd take that out every day ryan on the other hand um i think he barely clipped the two foot circle so we're definitely going to revisit this in a couple months after we get a lot of arrows uh through the bow hopefully we'll be shooting our new bows by then but i think with the amount of practicing and shooting that we're going to be doing uh you're really going to notice a difference on these targets when we come back and do this again so again thanks for watching you guys uh hope you enjoyed it and stay tuned for the next one
