Come on now Mark!! I have a hard time believing that you never miss when practicing at 15 yards with your longbow.;)

Sure I do. Or have. But right now, if someone came and bet me 1000 dollars on if I could hit9 out10 arrows anywhere 18 yards or under on the vitals of a 3d deer, I would take that bet.

As I am sure 90% of you guys would shooting your compound at 30 or for some 40 yards.

BeforeI shoot at an animal, I need that much confidense I can make it happen. Thats just me.
I couldn't agree more.

Now, saying that, I have took shots I have been so confident in. I treated them as chipshots, and missed. It happens.

If you can't look at someone and say you can hit the vitals every time, you shouldn't be using that weapon at those distances.
