Shot my first 3D this weekend. I was shooting my hunting rig and expected (possibly naively) that the targets would be much closer than they were. Out of 30 targets there was only 1 that was at 25 yds (turkey head on). The remaining targets were mostly between 35 and 50 yards (most in the 42-47yard range).

I guess my question is " Is this typical?" . This was not an IBO event, but rather a local 2 day shoot. The first day I showed up with pins at 20, 30, 40 yards, and ended having to gague the targets out beyond my 40 yard pin.

What is considered normal distribution of target distances. Was this an exceptionally long course, or can I expect this to be the norm for 3D.
