I stand by my earlier post , archery is seeing how far you can still hit the bullseye , bowhunting is seeing how close you can get to it .
I can also shoot long range in practice to refine my form and bow tuning , but there is a huge difference in the woods shooting at live game .
I'll take a slam dunk shot over a poke and hope shot at long distances . I rely more on bowhunting skills to close the distance .
Nothing wrong with taking long shots under the right conditions on relaxed deer in an open field , yet I'd rather not risk a wounded animal . That's just me . I have been doing it too long and know what can go wrong .
