Bullhound,

I am not trying to hammer you either but I do get it. If "if and buts were cherries and nuts everyday would be christmas". The same thing is true if you are shooting at 30 yards as if you are shooting at 70yds, if they move they move. There is an inherent risk built in. Most studies have shown that most animals duck and arrow in reaction to the noise. The further the animal is from the shooter the less chance of them reacting. That being said, if they decide to take a step it isn't going to matter whether they are 35 or 65. You are taking about an arrow taking .072 seconds to cover 70 yards, a caribou ain't exactly covering a football field in .072 seconds.
