    Your setup is what limits range. Most deer are killed under 25 yards. When I decided to get serious I shot at ten yards untill I could keep all my arrows in a tennis ball. Then I moved back to twenty--thirty. Always started my practice at ten. I eventually could shoot 8" groups at 50 yards----Makes a deer at 25 look as big as a cape buffalo. I forced myself to shoot 100 arrows a day all summer. I filled my tags every year for 24 years untill last year. Now I gotta start all over!!!!

    like sealyon said start off close and shoot as far as your comfortable shooting. i draw the line at 55 yards where my friend shoots 80 i would never dream of shooting that far but he took two elk at the 70 yard mark it is all what you are comfortable with oh and don't shoot until you are wore out it will lead to bad habits

    you can be king or street sweeper but everyone is going to dance with the reaper
