RE: shooting distance??
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.

RE: shooting distance??
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.
