Two biggest things help me to shoot better past 25 yds. First, switching to .19 pins and second, shooting longer distances. I was able to find a spot where I can extend my range out to 70 yds. I noticed after shooting 40+ yds and then coming back to more realistic hunting ranges it was so much easier which made me feel confident in my ability. I make it a routine to shoot at least 6-10 arrows between the distance of 50-70 yds when I practice then I bring it back down to under 40 yds to end with.

I don't plan on shooting a deer or other animal past 40 yds but after shooting longer distances it makes it seem so much easier 40 yds and under. Also at longer distances you will be able to feel/spot your flaws much easier because they will be much more noticeable at the target.
