So I bought a Trophy Ridge single pin slider and put it on my bow.  My bow is a Reflex/Hoyt Bighorn, 29" draw and maxed out measured at 75lbs.  Got a whisker biscuit for a rest, shooting Carbon Express Mayhems 340's or Carbon Express Crush 240's cut to 29" valley of nock or what ever cabelas cut them too.  100 gr field tips and 100 gr MX 3 Muzzy's.  So just got done practicing out to 30 yards, my yard I can't go any further.  The things is no matter what arrow I am shooting with field points I am shooting the same groups.  Heavier arrows are right in the same group as the lighter arrows.  Would I get more of a change the farther out I go?  I am not an avid practicer so I thought I would ask you all what you thought.

I'd say yes for sure. More arrow flight time for the change in flight to take place. Too close a range to make a difference.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
