80 yard shot!
#11
I shoot at 80 yards every 2/3 days. I goup around 6 to 8 in with steel force 125 gr,on 29 in 75/95 goldtip arrows .With my mathews safari set at 94 #.I am an avrage shooter in my eyes.I allso make misstakes and will miss the hole target at 20 yards [2 times in few weeks]. I think most people can shoot this far if they know how far it is and have a pin for that range.
I do not shoot this far to kill big game. The farthest shot I have taken is 28 yards.

hey, I hunt ottertail county (minnesota) sometimes. My parents have a cabin on star lake. There's some state land by dead lake that I've hunted a few times. I'm heading up there over labor day to do some scouting.
anyway, 80 yards is crazy.

In my neck of the woods there aren't any 80 yard open areas to take such shots....
...
...and I don't mean while deer hunting either.

I doubt it though I try to keep an open mind.

That sounds like a real eye crosser to shoot like that. I was out last week shooting against my buddie at 40 yards, and he put one in the bulls eye, I did the same thing and drilled my arrow dead center into his. I was extatic! Then I hear about this 80 yard stuff, I suppose it is quite possible if you take your time.
