I won't attempt any shot past 30 yards at live game. It awes me when I read about those long shots but in my experience there is just too many chances for a wounding shot or total miss. I have very good vision with the help of my specs but those tiny twigs at beyond 30 yards are OUT THERE. I'm just too conservative to take those chances. Besides, I more fully appreciate those times when I can draw them in real close, not realizing there is an armed hunter ready to end life. Just my opinion. I commend those folks that feel confident at longer ranges, I guess it just boils down to comfort level.
