RE: 40yds. vs. 50yds.
It takes many years of shooting and working on form, to shoot consistent groups at long distances. your back tension andrelease is a huge part of it as you start getting out past 50 yards. its a lot of fun shooting long distance targets or 3D critters with a bow....but I've seen too many animals move before the arrow gets to them to recommend hunting distances past 40 yards. shooting 60 yards with a bow is like 250 yards with a rifle as far a holding stead goes.....you have to seriously be conscious of your breathing and the squeeze of the trigger....its no different using a trigger release on a bow. if you want to train for long distance shooting, start by joining a target league and learn the fine arts of using a back tension rope release.....i guarantee you that once you start shooting 300 rounds, you'll be able to shoot groups at 80 yards.... if you have the patience it takes to build all your arrows EXACTLY the same.....my 2 cents........Kirk
