Default RE: Farthest bull eyes practice shot?

I love long range practice although I dont do it as often anymore (havent the time to get back into that mental groove). I have a clear shot out to 85 yards where i practice. It also is about as far as i can shoot with my current sight w/o running out of room. I attach a pop can to the front of my target, so when I am dead on, I can hear it. I still struggled with consistancy tho, I could only get 2/3 arrows hitting or very near the can.

the longest I ever shot actually was shot at a local 3D shoot three years ago. A dollar an arrow allowed you to shoot at something like 130 yards, if you hit the 3" balloon on the target you took half the pot. my sight was not adjustable, so i had to put my 85 yard pin on a branch 6 feet over the targets top (and above the backstop), after a little trial and error, I got my arrows falling right around it and at about my 7th shot, I netted $34. I didnt try to do it again
