I do most of my shooting out to 35 yards. I do shoot further but itis just for fun. I never haveshot a deer past 30 yards. Most of my shots are less than 20 yards. There is so much that can happen when you release an arrow at 20 yards, would not even want to think about 50 yards. I shoot one pin an have it set at 17 yards. Good luck, you have got into something that you will enjoy for along time.
