    Fun at 50 yards

    This is about the limit of my 60 year old eyes with out going to shooting with prescription glasses on

    I shot an arrow into the air
    Where it fell I know just where
    Though I aimed at a buck who stood afar
    I pierced the radiator of my car

    My youngest son regularly practices at 60 yards but will not take a hunting shot at more than 40.
    My own limit is 35.
    Beyond accuracy is the loss of energy.

    My E-Hat is off to you Dave. Know your limits and stick to them. There are Yahoos out there that will take a 100 yd. shot when they can't hit a milk jug at 20 yds.

    I agree there is no point in taking a long shot that may leave an animal wounded. Only take a shot that you know will hit a vital area for the cleanest possible kill. I practice on distance accuracy so that I know that I will hit a closer target with a high degree of confidence

    this is my normal 30 yard spread
