Farthest bull eyes practice shot?
I have hit only out to like 30 yds, so I can't boast, I don't like to shoot long distances. I hear of guys shooting out to like 100 yds hitting bulls eye. so what's the most you ever heard or done or seen??

At 3-d shoots I've hit the lungs 60 and 70 yards out on occasions. This was done with my recurve and it was fun just launching arrows out there knowing its just a target and not a live critter. Am I consistant, far from it!!

RE: Farthest bull eyes practice shot?
I have a range set up here at my house and I like to practice atfarther distances(it makes the closer shots seem easier). I practice to 60 all the time and do well with it...Like many others thats the farthest pin I have...WhenI was competing heavily we used to shoot 90meters and I was shooting like 10" groups....My buddy was shooting like 5-6" groups...Thats the farthest I have ever shot....

oK here goes....[&:]I did this last year with my bear element... It's not the bullsize but its the tightest group I've ever made, and it was acheived by complete accident at 60 yards.

RE: Farthest bull eyes practice shot?
There is one type of target archery labelled a '1200 round', in which you shoot 30 arrows from each of 4 different distances. Top score possible is 1200. The longest distance is 65 m, or about 71 yards. I average a bullseye at that distance on about half my shots; mind you , it's a 122 cm target and the 10 isnearly 5 inches across. Lots of guys do way better than that.
