Lets hear it, lately I've been shooting out to 80, which is as far as I can get on my yard, and it makes everything closer a breeze. How far do you guys shoot?
What is this the Robin Hood forum? You guys are real shooters! I practice mostly at twenty yards. I keep all my shots less than 25 yards. I like to be real close to my prey when I shoot because so much can go wrong with long shots. I agree those 50 - 60 yard practice shots make the closer shots seem easy. I do OK though, 13 deer bow kills the last four years. Got to love Iowa where there's a P&Y buck behind every tree. I saw it on TV.
I practice to 70. My bow carries a lot of kinetic energy but not enough speed for the distance. Meaning it would kill at that range but I wouldn't be comfortable shooting at that range in fear the animal might move.
But my bow is old by today's bow's standards......
