I shoot long distances because it's fun and I enjoy it. Yes it does make the kill zone look alot bigger.

You did state bow hunting practice. Well that I do from a tree stand with my broadheads at distances out to 40 yards. I place my targets at unknown distances. I wear my actual hunting gear as much as possibe. I take only a few shots and then come back in a little while.

Is this thread going to become a pi$$ing contest too. I'll go drink about 2 gallons of water ,cya soon.

I practice 70 yds. and go out to 100, now that is cool waiting for the arrow to hit. I killed 2 deer this year, 1 was a 6pt. at 43 yds. and a doe at 52.

pppppppiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sssssssss. Seems contagious lately doesn't it?

Some people have to wear Depends while they are typing.

Actually the first post read "practice shooting." Just went back and checked.

my furthest practice shot normally is about 40 yds. I most often shoot 20 yds. the furthest i have killed a deer at is 28yds. The majority of the ones i kill are about 1-15 yds away.

I practice out to 50 yards but in a hunting situtation my shots are never over 30 yards. I shoot an older bow and it looses a lot of speed and punch at further distances.

Since the question asks about practice, I practice with BH's out to 60 yards. If the pins fron 20-60 align up, it's a good indicator of spine and rest position with a bubble.

I practice out to 40 yards and I'm very confident out to that yardage when hunting.

I usually practice out to about 300yds, the trick is laying your target on its back because your arrows are coming in vertical.......really makes those 20yd shots seem easy. Now when hunting I like to keep it at about 80 yds, although with the new Mattech Firestorm Cougar Mag LX-VFT (i.b.o 650 fps) bow I'm getting for Christmas I should be able to double that distance...but thats just me.

Sorry guys had to do something to keep my self entertained here at work on Christmas Eve. For real I practice out to 50yds, have never shot a deer at more than 30yds.
