I shoot Black Eagle Zombie Slayers (stupid name, good arrows) with Slick Trick 150 gr. I chronoed one at 289 FPS. I lost the next arrow. From a rest, I normally sight in at 30 yards, using the first dot down. Doing that, I can do the same thing you do from 0 to 40. Past that I would get a little antsy. At 50 I can begin to see the arrow "dropping" into the target, and at 60 its quite obvious. The reason I mention this is because where I see the deer, is around 60 yards from my back porch. If I do hunt them, I'm going to work a little harder to get closer.
