I don't think I'd ever discourage anyone from PRACTICING at 50-60 yds. I know when I started....I never thought of taking even a practice shot of over 40 yds (that's all the pins I had).
I read an article somewhere that said 75% of your practice should be at 2X the distance you plan to be shooting at under hunting conditions. So.....I bought another sight (My son needed a new one for his bow....and got my old one).......set a 50 and 60 yd pin......and it's made me a better archer.Spring time finds my McKenzie buck an even 62 yds off the corner of my patio
