How many of us regularly shoot at long distance for practice?

[Taudisio]

I regularly shoot out to 110 yards, because any farther and my fletching will hit my sight housing. After shooting at 80+ yards, shooting a golf ball sized target at 20 yards is pretty mundane. Below is a 90 and 20 yard target. Keeping them all on a deer sized target at 90 is a challenge for me. Past that, it’s my large bag target or I’m digging for arrows in the grass.

99% of my practice is at 50-70 yards because thats how my permanent range is set up. Closer to season we usually set up 3d targets and shoot longer distance in the pasture.

I also practice with broadheads year round. That seems to help me the most with my form.

always practice farther than you intend to shoot at an animal

Some of you are really good with a bow. Practice is the key to being a good and consistent archer. nice work dudes.

As the saying goes - aim small, miss small.

I've always been told this but never really found it helpful, I'm curious if other people do. Past a certain distance I can't aim at a patch of fur or even see minor details on a deer anyway, I frame it in reference to the whole animal.

Need to shoot where you are comfortable watching your float, that can really have as much of more to do with what you are shooting at than how far tho.

This lines up with my experience more. I can shoot the center of a large target well, but if I'm trying to shoot a small spot at the same distance and my pin mostly covers it... I just end up fighting with my pin and punching the trigger.

I'm a decent shot but definitely not winning any tournaments, do better archers do things differently?
