RE: what is the furthest you would shoot
Practice, Practice, Practice!! Then set the limits you are comfortable with. Before taking up bow hunting I was strictly a handgun hunter. I had started hunting with a handgun because I wanted a challenge. I was on the military marksmanship team and had gotten very proficient with a pistol and realized to challenge was in the hunt not just the shooting.
I eventually turned to bowhunting for an even greater challenge. When stationed in Okinawa we had an archery club with one of the shooting lanes capable of shooting over a hundred yards. It is very possilbe to get every arrow in the kill zone at that range but I still limited myself to a 50 yard max. The hard part is being able to stop yourself from taking that long shot on that once in a lifetime trophy. Once while hunting Moose in Canada I had a 48 inch bull moose 60 yards and it was all I could do to not shot. I had told myself before I went on the trip that 50 yards would be my max. I stuck by that decision......went home empty handed but was happy with myself for not busting my own decision.
So, what I am saying is....set the maximum that YOU are comfortable with and stick with it.
