good or lucky?

Your boy gets in the right spot he could kill supper with that accuracy. A 10" pie plate accuracy out to 20yds will kill whitetails.
That said, shooting is maybe 40% of getting liver in the skillet. Lots of things must happen just so to kill large game with selfbow effectively and consistantly.
You give up a little performance and range with primitive gear but by no means are limited in killing enough food for table fare.
My selfbows feed several families from Tenn to AL every year. Feed us while we are in elk or hog camp every year as well.
He will get it if he stays with it rather fast. He a kid, they grab stuff quick like.

I know what you mean Pearl. i am slowly getting better (emphasis on the slooooowly). I can tell the instant the arrow leaves the bow if it is a good shot or not, and that feeling that you know it is going dead center just as you release is a very good one.

Being able to "call your shots" is a very big step to becoming consistent in shot placement - with any weapon! That lets you know what to correct! Now, to heed my own advice! Btw, I have a lot of #6 arrows in my groups! I call it fatigue in young shooters and getting sloppy in experienced shooters. WHAT! ME! No way! Wrong, Paleface! >:D (lol) (SH) :NN

Shoot 3 arrows at a 1/2" dot from 2 yards. Once you can get all 3 arrows touching each other you are ready to move back a little. Repeat and have fun :)
