Though just barely getting ‘good’ at any distance, I know what you mean 🙂 I thought for a long time it was the bow (honey, I wanna get a new bow!), the arrows (see earlier), tuning, etc. etc.

Then I relaxed a bit. For me, it is all about form. I found a better anchor point, started noting the gap, the tilt of the bow, my stance, etc. Now I can (occasionally) group 2-3 arrows in 4″ out 25-30 yards. But not always where I want! Last night, they were nicely grouped low and right of where I _wanted_ to hit. But they were grouping well.

I have a pair for running and they are _great_. I can feel pebbles down to about 1/8″, but sharp rocks just give a minor poke (no penetration so far!). For off-trail use, my only complaint is that you often get weeds stuck between your toes. I have not had blisters with them and my feet tend to feel warmer than they would wearing regular shoes. For cold weather, Injinji (I hope I spelled that right) makes a 5-toed sock. These are good with any shoe.

For hunting, just wash them lots. Being so snug, they can build up an odor after a couple of days if you do not wash them.

If I can find the time soon, I plan to test them and my new jacket on the local (no hunting allowed) deer before taking them out ‘for real’. I will let y’all know what happens.
