I do well on the 3-D range at 50, 60, and even 70 yards but feel I owe any animal I am shooting at respect and a CLEAN, QUICK KILLING SHOT. Animals have jumped my strings at all distances both with and without string silencers. In the Pacific Northwest shots greater than 50 yards are extremely rare. How many times have we or others taken a clean shot at an animal at a reasonable distance only to have a gust of wind or unseen twig deflect the arrow.

There are many that would take these long shots . . . I personally think it is unwise.
