Dont hurt to try will have to play with some loads to see what I can get to work the ole 303 aint fast so would have to maximize the bc. The 45 should get there we shall see it has the original 1-22 twist so might be sketchy all amater of the right bullet.

Re: Different type of grouping but still shooting.
Kurt watch some of videos from world archery cup that should give you a good idea of what proper form is.
Marvin you might want to start shooting at different spots on the target. With the way your shooting you are gonna wreck an arrow with a robin hood. Good shooting.
