Forget that "pie plate" concept. Anyone can hit a pie plate at a reasonable distance. You need to aim at a much smaller "spot" to achieve best results in accuracy. Aim small, miss small. It makes you "focus" better! Oh yea, I won't shoot past 30yrds.
I agree, that pie plate BS in my opinion isn't good shooting.
Its bowhunting and about getting them in close, my shots will be no further than 18 yards but I'm going to try and get closer!
Unfortunately thats getting to be a past time in bow hunting Joe! But I 100% agree with you, it is about getting them close.
As for me It all depends on how I'm shooting that particular day before I head out into the woods. Some days its 15 yards, but mostly its 20 yards. I do hunt with a recurve so my yardage is shorter then most compound shooters. If I can't consistently hit with in 2" of my mark at 20 yards I'm not happy with my shooting and most likely won't take that 20 yard shot.
