First Off Welcome!
I also like shooting at longer ranges. I have only shot out to 70 yds. I think practicing at that distance gives me more confidence at more realistic ranges. I will nor nor will I ever shoot at a live animal at Long distances.. It just takes away what the sport is..
For example this year I ranged a Monster Idaho Bull elk three times at fifty yds. I drew on him twice, and i never took the shot. It just didn't feel right. I know this will sound corny, but I actually took my hat off and told him he beat me. I was satisfied...
very true the whole concept of archery is to add more skill and challenge to the
hunt not the shot.
I had a similar case but with a doe at 40yd, I drew but something in side said no, so I let down and just enjoyed watching her (for all of 45secons).
