Heck I practiced at 60 yds a LOT, this year (62 yds from my back patio to the McKenzie Buck we own).

But I won't take a shot over +/- 30. I read somewhere that 75% of your practice should be at 2X the distance you plan to shoot in the field. Hence my long practice.

To each his own....but I have an IMMENSE respect for these animals we seek.
