It' s all about the archers shooting abilities. If you practice at 40-50-& 60 yards and can consistently hit your target, then it wouldn' t be a problem. The biggest problem I' ve seen from camp to camp is most bowhunters don' t take the time to tune and re-tune their arrows, let alone their bows. As a matter of fact, a lot of them will complete their set-ups the night before their hunt in camp. This type of bowhunter shouldn' t take a shot over 20-25 yards. I' ve bowhunted out west for Blacktail, Mule Deer, Antelope and Elk, where it was difficult to get a shot under 45-50 yards.
