Default RE: Why Not Take a Shot at 60+ yards?

The guy is either extremely confident in his ability, or full of hot air. Saying he can shoot 2 pins out to 70 yards? I'm sure it can be done, but that is definitely pushing the limits when shooting at game IMO. I would tend to say that at those long distances most guys are going to lose as many (if not more) deer than they find. He states at 300fps his arrow will get to 40 yards in 4/10ths of a second. That may be the case if his arrow is still flying 300 at 40 yards but that isn't what happens. I bet it takes much longer than that and i'm sure with the right ballistics info someone could figure it out. But, if the guy wants to shoot that distance then more power to him I guess, it's just not for me. I prefer to keep the odds for a quick, clean kill in my favor.
