For some people, shooting 60yrds is "beyond their ability," for some people, shooting 60yrds is "stretching their ability." For some people, shooting 60yrds is "well within their ability".

As someone who has taken multiple deer at 50-75yrds in the last 20yrs, it's really not as "high risk" as some might have you think, if you can shoot well. There are plenty of folks that shoot much better than I (if they gave out "participant" ribbons at 3D and IBO indoors, Lord knows I'd have a few - but instead they send ya home with nothing), but I can bundle arrows at 40yrds. If a guy puts up palm sized groups at 20yrds, he has no business shooting 30yrds. If a guy puts up palm sized groups at 80yrds, and his flight time is reasonable to ensure accuracy, there's really no reason NOT to fill your freezer.
