Default RE: 80 yard shot!

about 2 months ago i had tim farmer over to the house. he usually wins the western NC 3-d circuit. we shot a few from around 46 yards to get warmed up and then i backed him up to 71.5 yards and didn't tell him how far we were. it was my homecourt advantage and i thought i could take him, specially since i knew how far it was. i figured if i got 2 in the 10 ring of my target i'd have him. i mean he doesn't compete over 50 yards or so right. well, he picked a spot at the top of the target - something i would never do from that far out. he had 5 arrows. they all went in the 4 inch circle he was aiming at. all of them. i said 'good gosh tim'. he said he'd have a flier before too long. next round he shot an arrow 2.5" low from that distance and said 'there it is'. i said 'WHAT?'. he said 'my flier'. now, this was with his 3-d bow with the long stabilizer, but still, i have been completely humbled ever since. it most certainly can be done.
