Default RE: Long Range Shooting

With longer shots it is important to do lots of practice shooting but also distance judging is a big thing i find. I have a range finder but do not always have time to use it so i find myself guessing distances alot and pacing them off to see how close i am to get a good idea of how to judge. I find it more difficult to judge from the ground than from a tree actually. The 5 pin gig sounds ok to me, i shoot 3 pin for elk and have my 3rd set at 45. Have never taken that 45 yarder my first shot but have used it effectively for follow up shots. Just curious whats wrong with your current bow for this hunt?
