max yardage

[sakoshooter]

Spot Hogg 7DP plus I practice at 100 a lot. This isn't about ethics for hunting, just shooting and bs'n.
I did shoot my longest shot on a spike whitetail bedded across a frozen swamp in Dec in WI at 65 paces. 45# Groves Spitfire Magnum recurve. Instinctive.
Like I read earlier in this post: Practice long shots and the short shots are easy.

Practice and play out to 200 yards. Hers playing out to 172 yards.

On game confident to 100 under "ideal" conditions...but will always try to get under 50. That is the challenge and why we choose to bowhunt!

Your comments about good groups at 30 and 70 interest me..
Do you shoot a single pin sight or multiple pins?

Both.  Depends on bow and conditions.  While in a blind I'm always shooting a single pin.  When we could actually shoot bulls on the east side I always shot a single pin regardless.  In heavier brush I like a multiple pin as it's easier to determine if I'm going to hit a branch or not.  I'm much less likely to have a target panic issue when shooting a single pin so I do like them better in most instances.  Favorite on the wet side is a three pin slider.

10-4.
I was just curious when you mentions good groups at certain yardages.
I have seen it a lot where guys have multiple colors of pins and struggle to shoot with their red or yellow pins.

Color doesn't seem to make much of a difference to me unless I'm shooting a Vegas face.  Only colors I do not like are blue and black. 

Before I got glasses I did have some problems with red as I always had ghost images of the pins.  In that case I always had to choose the brighter one to know which was the "Real" pin.  On red I could not tell brightest from the others.  Now with glasses I only see the one pin so no more picking and choosing which of the three or four pins is the real one.  Try shooting a seven pin sight when there are three to four ghost pins for each   I hate glasses, but I do shoot one heck of a bit better now that I have them.  And I suffer with target panic very few days a year now.

I too have far from perfect vision I'd recommend try contacts over glasses if you have never worn them they are a pain at first  . Not having to worry about having your glasses fog, fall off etc. is well worth the initial discomfort, but contacts are more money I always take my glasses as a back up tho cause if you lose a contact there goes your day  learned that the hard way.

I added a poll to help out

ive practiced out to 109 yards.i hav a 5 pin sight with pins out to 60.many folks love to argue of the ethics of shooting beyond what their personal limits are.
i have only harvested one deer with my bow and it was around 8 yards.i will always stack the chips in favor of the most perfect shot i can make,and get as close as possible.that said though,under ideal conditions i would have no issues with letting an arrow fly at 60 yards.i have loosed many arrows at this range and over and feel completely confident in my equipment and abilities.
i have yet to encounter such a situation and do not know if i ever will.but i am practiced and confident if it ever is presented
