Get your hunting clothes on.

Screw on your broadeads.

Climb your treestand, and place a 3d target at 30 yards.

You get ONE arrow.

If you hitBOTH lungs I'll give you $100.

If you MISS the lungs, YOU give ME $1,000.

Would you take that bet? If not, 30 yards is beyond your "effective range".


Interesting way of putting it. I'm not even sure I would take that bet at 20yds (although I'm almost positive I could hit it). Not to say the risk of a monetary loss is greater than wounding a live animal, but your scenario (in my case) wouldn't be a true measurement of my effective range. I'm not a gambling man, or much of a risk taker for that matter
