well ur probley better than me. i just bought a bow and am practicing when i have free time. but i decided to buy my bow this spring to start practicing to be good enough for deer hunting this fall. but i am thinkin i wont be takin no shots over 25 yrds this year. just dont need to have a wounded animal running around. but who knows maybe by then i will be good enough and confident to take longer shots. well time will tell. dont be hard on your self if you can take clean kill shots on animals thats all that counts.
