My backyard targets generally range from around 60 feet to about 180 feet away.

think about it.... when youre hunting are you going to judge the distance in feet ? probably not...probably yards.....you want to set your target up and shoot from different ranges(yards)....

Theoretically in yards....in reality it's stepped off. I don't use a rangefinder and I'm not in the habit of measuring things in woods, so I step things off whether for practice or hunting.

My range is 80 yards long. I spend 75% of my time shooting from 50 to 60 yards. I love shooting at long distances. Makes the short hunting and 3D shots seem like pot shots.

I have a 3D fox I shoot out to 60, a deer that I shoot out to 80. Fun stuff once you get used to it.

Random distances (in yards) from 25 yards to 40 yards.
