I am in agreement with most all of you.I regularly practice at 50 and 60 yards to hone skills and make the 40 yard and in shots a gimme.I try very hard to keep my shots within 30 yards.I only hunt whitetails and bears with the bow.I have shot two bucks at distances of 37 and 39 yards.I would be perfectly content if I never had a shot beyond 30 yards again,and this has nothing to do with competence.
