Back when I used to bow hunt, a lot, I had to move back beyond 15 yards because I was ruining so many arrows. I used to be able to put five inside the area of a quarter, under that range. A torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder has pretty much put an end to that pursuit. I think I still could manage to maintain an effective hunting group out to 30 yards. I’d have to drop my draw weight a substantial amount, though. I was running just a tad North of 75lbs on my Jennings Quest. It is a fast, great shooting bow.
I’ve done it several times over the years shooting target archery. with the nock in place…I finally went to a five or 3 spot target to save on arrow wear… the first or two times is cool… then you realize it’s costing you money
A target bow, maximum 30lbs draw by regulation, with sights and a stabilizer shooting indoors at a regulation distance. I’m not impressed at all, I’ve known target archers who have collections of Robin Hooded arrows. Let’s see him do it outside in a breeze with a hunting weight (or war weight) bow with no stabilizers or sights at an indeterminate range.
Now, THAT is a William Tell moment!

It was nice of someone to unscrew the nock prior to the shot. That indicates they were trying to do that. Impressive.

Next, we do it with the target shooting back, and then close to cold steel and halitosis range to finish off.

Impressive as heck to see it slide down the shaft of the first arrow.
