On game 25-30 yards.

Last week I refletched some arrows and shipped one toward a target 52 yards away (unknown range at the time). I held over instinctively with my 20yd pin and it hit pretty much dead nuts - I haven' t shot that kind of range in probably 10 years and there' s NO WAY I' d try anything that extreme in the woods.

On the range I group acceptably at 40 yards. In the field every shot I' ve ever released has been inside 25. Insurance, I suppose.

In competition up to 80 yards with confidence, but in a hunting situation because of variable conditions prefer 10-20 yards.

With the speed of my new Patriot my range could easily go out to 30 yards with little pin movement.

I would take a perfect 25 yard shot but anything else must be 20 and in.

60 is the max.

I practice it...and under the right circumstances I would shoot it. I have never taken the 60 yard shot on game, but if it came down to it...I would take it.

The farthest I have ever shot was 30 though, and I' m plenty confident from 60 to zero.

Most of my shots are 25 and under, with the once in a blue moon 30 yard shot.

I' m a 20 yard guy. My longest has been 27 yards. I practice at longer distances but I pretty much stick to 20 on game. I sight in about 1" high at 10 yards and this puts me about 2" low at 25 with my setup.
