Distance has zero bearing on the definition. It is purely intent. Do you wish to kill or have the best score, form, etc?

Even in hunting, distance means nothing to me. The goal of the hunter is to be able to make the kill shot when presented. With a bow, sometimes that's measured in feet and sometimes it's beyond the effective range of NFL Field Goal Kickers.
Well said! As a BowHunter my goal is to kill as effectively as I can. Distance has nothing to do with being a BowHunter!
