During the summer practice sessions, I have started shooting longer ranges to make the "killing range" shots seem like short and easy "slam dunks" by comparison. However, once I get to 40 yards and beyond, my pin covers the bullseye causing me to develop a form of target panic because I'm trying to see the bull. I know I can make a big bullseye to aim at, but I want to hit a small spot--not just in the large bull.

With this is mind, what is a good size compromize for both target practice AND hunting. I currently have three .039 diameter pins on my bow and am considering buying smaller ones for longer range, but might want to use them for hunting as well.
