Just about any broadhead will shoot within that 3" guranteed group. Pick a good combination, and you'd better not shoot twice at the same target or you will be joining the "robin hood" club. :wink:
I have put three consecutive shots into the same hole in the target at 25 yards with broadheads (from a bench rest) more than once. 1" groups are an everyday occurance.
A friend of mine who always thought his Horton was good enough for hunting wanted to shoot my Phoenix when I was checking some arrow/broadhead combinations one day. I let him shoot one, then had him wait while I pulled the arrow (he thought I was joking). He put 3 shots in the same hole in the target, then left to go buy a Phoenix! :lol:
His old Horton now hangs in the tool shed to serve as a "loaner". The Phoenix is in his locked gun room! :roll:

I normally practice with 1 arrow, With my Exocet or Phoenix I can shoot thru the same hole with broadheads at 25 yards all day long.

Cajun, its gonna depend on the shooter. The bow wont shoot great groups alone, unless its in a rest. If you have a steady rest you iwll have no issue with 3inch groups way out to 50 yards. 20-30yards is pretty much 1-3inch groups easy. I never shoot at the same hole twice with mine since I dont take joy in messing up a 5-7buck arrow/bolt!

shooting great groups depends on the shooter. Also, some bheads dont group as well as others. A few that are proven are slick tricks, spitfires, and rage heads.

after sighting in your bow, I wouldnt shoot at the same hole from 25 yards unless you are showing off for friends and have no problem buying arrows :D

Last fall was my first hunting season with a xbow,Shot a doe from my treestand at 10 yards ,shot it right un the spine, did'nt make a pace.

What ever you aim at, if you practice,in 20 yards or less you'll shoot in a quater.

Cajun , I am 5' 11" also and have short arms. My Phoenix fits me better than the others. I could shoot the others but have to stretch a bit and it makes it uncomfortable. But like everyone says , try them out for yourself.
Love your neighbor, but keep your guns oiled.

My first shot with the Vixen at 40 yards ruined two arrows. The guarantee is no joke. :)

When I learn how to use the embroiderer, I'll put that one in there too. :D
