Hmmmmm,just got finished reading the same article the other day and couldent believe they were practicing consistantly at 120 to 150 yards away.Said it makes close shots real easy.Kobrine states that when you practice at 120 meters and step to 100,the shot looks easy.Longer ranges forces you to fine tune your form and equipment.If you can shoot tight groups at long range,you will be that much better at close in.And i thought archery was a close range sport of 30 to maybe 40 yards.Man i got to keep practicing
