Well said! I think the OP will find very few capable of actually killing animals on a consistent basis past 40 yards.
I do think longer shots are realistic today and largely due to Electronic range finders. There are times that a 20 yard shot is a No go and there are times when a 40 yard shot is a Slam Dunk. The Key to becoming a more effecient BowHunter is knowing the difference!
Be effecient at whatever range you choose to limit yourself too! If you wound a deer and do Not find it then rethink everything until you learn why it happened and adjust your tactics accordingly

I try to keep a perspective on all the gadgets and concentrate on "The Spot". Even though I am capable of killing a deer at 40 yards, I still shoot them at 20.
