50,60,70,80,100 ..... those are all long long shots at live game - that's not the objective of bowhunting.

I agree with PottyMouth. I one yard shot adrenaline filled draw and shot is much more difficult than some calculated 70 yard + arc. Where's the fun in that?

I've been bowhunting for 12 years and shot my share of moose, elk, deer and bears. I've never had to shoot over 36 meters. Your bowhunting setups should geared towards close encounters, meaning you shouldn't be setting up to take shots past your effective shooting range.

How effective can a slow arrow be on a lightning fast deer in which you have no control of? Think about it. Target archery is one thing, but bowhunting is about getting CLOSE and is different all together.

Get close! Better yet, get closer. One step back is allowed.

Well said....
