Good shootin. I havent moved out to that distance yet. I will definetly get there though. Need a walking measuring device or range-finder to really figure out my target distance though. I use about 8 paces per 10 meters, I think its rough but its what Im going by now.
before i got my range finder i found a pace to  be pretty dead on to a yard.out to 40 and 50 yards i would only ever be off by 2 or 3 yards

How tall are you and what are your pacing measurements?

im 6ft 6 inches tall.i just would make sure to take casual full on paces.if i went n tried to slow it down i would always be off more than i would like.
i am sure it is different for different folks.
i dont know what i would do without my rangefinder now.very good investment

Wow, nice shooting!  My eyesite and arms aren't steady enough to be that tight at that range!

I have gotten a robin hood at 60yds before and thats why only two arrows at the same bull. I can only hope my broadheads will fly that well the first try so I dont have to do a lot of tuning. As to. Shooting at a live critter it would be the same for me I have never gotten excited before or during a shot.

The day I quit getting exited before or during the shot, is the day ill give it up. :tup:

This target was at the "High Mountain Archery Challenge" last July. Target has been around for about 1 years. We also shoot at it in the evening when it gets dark, with lit nocks. Usally a little good natured fun and a few dollars involved!

I'm not even sure I could dial in enough dope on my bow to hit 172 yards, do you have a pin that low?

I'm using a G5 optix XR, so refer to the bottom moveable pin as "dialing dope" to borrow from rifle terminology :chuckle:

Its the use of a second peep. You do have to learn a second anchor placement, and adjust the height, but with the sight adjustment, I can get to 100 easily with the lower peep, then start at 100 out to 200 with the second peep. Kinda like the soldiers of old, anchoring down to their 1rst, 2nd, 3rd ribs to get the longer ranges!
