compared to my compound bow in the early 80's, the Cbows today are amazing.
but it still takes practice to shoot effectively.

I was out practicing back in late June, NBend clear cut area.
my two block targets were at 30 and 70 yards. Practicing at 70 sure makes the 30 yard shot seem easier.

two other fellas pulled over their truck and asked to shoot a few arrows and since they had field tips I gave the ok. Well they missed the 30 yard block several times and couldn't find two of their arrows.
They watched me shoot at 70 yards; all 5 of my arrows were near center, all kill shots. "nice..." one said, Just practice I replied.

I had my reliable Mathews SBXT. They had the newer Z7 and a Bowtech with all the latest bells & whistles.
Upon further conversation, they were new to archery and had drawn multi season tags, like I did. They thanked me and quickly drove off, seemed like nice fellas though.
they need some serious practice time!

Last year my AZ coues buck was shot at 62 yards. Wind was right, angle good and with my confidence from practice I made the shot. Buck went just over 60 yards and piled up next to some manzanita. My longest shot ever, made on day 6 of 7 hunting DIY AZ coues deer. But conditions limit most of my shots taken to under 50 yards.
