While I can certainly shoot more accurately at targets from known longer distances with a compound I never had the need to shoot any farther at game with it than my longbow or recurve.In my experience stump shooting there are to many tiny twigs hanging in the way you just can't see that can deflect the arrow much beyond 35 yards or so.I also find that I'm more accurate shooting at unknown distances with trad bows unless using a range finder with the compound.
