Hey fellas,
Little campfire discussion here cause I’m curious. Sorry if this comes across as a humble brag —- not my intention — although it is nice to see hard work pay off. I started shooting at extended ranges last year, practicing hard. I can confidently hold a 6-7” group at 80 yards with my hunting setup. I can no longer shoot more than 4-5 arrows at the same dot at 60 or I will loose a vane or nock. I think I am going to limit my field shooting to 60 though for elk. 80 just seems like a long flight time + performance loss for stuff to go wrong in real world conditions. I might throw a 2nd arrow at an animal at 80, if given the opportunity, but not the first.
Thoughts on this? I’m curious what % of your max effective range you guys use in the field.
