Default RE: Long Range Practice

I'll practice from 70yrd just to break up the route. 2 shots at 30, 2 at 50, 2 at 70, then 2 at 20.

Did you know that the English archers where accurate at hitting a standing man at 250 yrds and the Great Khan of the Mongols, better known as Genghis Khan taught his men to use composite bows (70 - 160 lb. draw weight) and released the bowstring with a thumb ring that increased the killing range of the bow to 275 metres (300 yards.) The maximum range of their bows was about 550 metres (600 yards).
