What is considered accept bow performance in terms of accuracy
Off a bench rest between 40 & 60 yds?

Just read the note below mine, and the author is asking a similar question. Oops!
I'm shooting the 405 and just starting to move beyond 30 yds which was very, very impressive. I jumped back to 50 yds and now my tight groups have widen.

I'm not ruling out operator error since this bow is less than 2 was old.

Just curious to what is expected with this fine piece of equipment.

I have always felt min of deer at any yardage 40 yds & beyond. The heart is about fist size on a normal man, thats good enuff fer me. I am not shootin 3D's so kills are good

Take a look at this last weeks post by Paul who eats, sleeps and walks shooting his Excalibur. Copy/paste:

My scope only goes to 50 yards. But off a bench I expect bullseye's all day long out to that distance. Getting them all day long is another story.

At 40 yards I have put arrows tipped with 125 g Slick Trick magnums in the same hole using a level and a monopod. it didn't take me long to learn not to shoot at the same dot.

In short my Exocet can shoot better than I can ever hope to; especially off hand.

I should add that I build my own arrows and I take my time to ensure that they are square and have a consistent weight. When I build a dozen arrows they are the same weight +/- .5 g.

With my M380 I'm shooting legitimate 1 1/2"groups at 65yards off the bench. Just to clarify, that's a spot that is 1 1/2" at the widest point. You can theoretically get at least that at 40-50 yards. Of course there are many variables to consider.

It's less than 2 months old?
What are you shooting out of it? Broadheads? What weight at the front of the arrow? What offset are you vanes? What vanes? What arrow shaft? Brace height? Off of a bench? What were the groups at 30 and 40? Weather conditions?
The more information you can feed us the more we can help you?

The bow itself most likely will shoot less than 1 inch groups at 50 yards . I think the arrows and the shooter makes a big difference . I'm happy when I can put EVERY arrow with hunting heads in a 3 in group at 50 yards.

My target is 36in X 36in at 10 yards I can hit it every time (almost)..But for real I am about like vixenmaster for hunting if you can hit a 4 in circle at 50 yards you are good..
