Really not that much difference between a 1/2moa load and a 1moa load when it comes to hunting, or even a 1 1/2moa load, really.
I know what you mean. I've done the same thing at about that distance and much shorter. I just feel to obtain the best possible accuracy as possible to be able to make those shots. Naturally, one also needs to put in the practice to be able to make those shots as well as practice shooting the way you would be hunting. Whether it be from a tree stand, shooting sticks or just leaning against a tree.
