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

Perfect conditions rarely exist when taking a shot at an animal, especially when you talk about that kind of distance. Target shooting conditions normally contribute to a persons ability to make extremely long shots. With my compound I can shoot fair groups out to 60yds, but I have enough sense to know that is way beyond my effective kill range. Even when the shot conditions are great, I am not in the same state of mind when about to shoot at an animal as when I am shooting a target. Although some guys can make those kind of shots, most guys who talk that kind of game rarely have enough experience bow hunting to know how full of bull they appear just by making those kind of statements.
