five yards difference
BowEd:
To me it's a mind training thing.It seems the brain is accustomed to putting your bow arm where it needs to be.

I agree with aim small, miss small - but like I said, I can't see that well. I have generally been able to see fletching so I'll aim at that after the first arrow.
One of reasons I like to roam around is so I can aim at thistles and other stuff out in the brush or the pasture.
Will Tell:
I agree with the one arrow at a time. My back yard slopes so I shoot uphill and down, close and far out to 20 yards with my self bows. 20 yards is a long shot for me but if I'm on that day I can usually get mostly kill shots.

We have to deal with a "no shooting" ordinance, but the archery range is just 2.5 miles away. The practice targets butts have Bout 9 small dots about 2". It is easy to shoot a different dot with each arrow! There are targets at 10, 20, 30, and 40 yards, and a separate 50 & 60 yard practice range. I can usually stay close to The dot I am aiming for at 10 yards, 20 is another matter, but I hit the Butts every shot (SH) (lol)! More and correct practice is needed! Shoot, chase, shoot, chase takes the fun out for me, that's why I got more darts for my atlatl! (AT). One dot, one arrow should work! Have fun, hunting season is less than 2 months off!
