    Default how good of a shot?

    How good of a shot are you guys? I am decent with everything.
    Bow, i can usually keep them within a 5" circle at 20 yards. Hoping to get better at this

    Muzzleloader, I can get about 3" groups at 50 yards with my dads gun. Haven't had enough time at the range to work up a load for mine. I shoot the same with his sluggun.

    And with my 20 gauge, With just a basic little clay bird thrower, I can usually hit about 20 of 25 clay birds.

    So how bout you all?

    When I was in boyscouts, I won the air rifle state championship for 10 and under. As far as bow shooting goes, I am not the best.

    With a BP I am so so.

    With my .270 I can shoot a pop can out to 400 yds.

    With a shotgun, I dunno, I can hit ducks, but I have never shot clays.......

    I am probably better than average out to 25 yards with my bow. Pretty good with rifle and shotgun. My problem is I can spank paper and clay all day. Put something in front of me thats alive and I can choke with them best of them.

    well when you miss a deer at how far, i think it was 9 YARDS. You can't be that great of a shot.
