Back in the day we practiced the longer ranges on the 3-D courses. Anyone that was or still a member of the Calgary Archers will be able to remember the long shots of over a 100 yard. Many of our shoot offs were done at 100 yards. I also shot a Mule Deer Buck at 80 meters and double lunged him. He did not jump the string! He did jump and kick out and ran about 30 yards to his death bed. My hunting bow set up was an 80lb draw PSE special order. Stay within your shooting abilities. Was it right, well, I ranged him, he had cleared the brush and no wind. I had made that shot, out on the range hundreds of time. I was very confident in my shooting abilities. Good for him and excellent shooting
