If I was right on out to 55 yards, I'd be very happy! Seriously, If you can consistently place a series of shots inside a medium sized paper plate, that's your effective range. Once you start missing the plate, that's your range limit. So maybe 55 is your effective range? 55 yards is pretty darn good and you really don't need to be able to shoot any farther than that around here.  |

hunting isn't always about getting a kill as rutandstrut pointed out. sometimes its just about being in the woods.

I would shoot a little bit left if I was just practicing.

At that distance it could also just be your arrow is slowing down to the point it will no longer fly straight. Your arrow only has so much energy in its velocity and also its spin. Sooner or later one or the other are going to go out, my guess is if this happens all the time that it's spin is slowing down causing it to plane out a little. Try an arrow of the same weight with some helical fletches and see if that straightens it out, if you already have helicals ask for a little tighter twist. Long shots are fun to do but are not for hunting scenarios. A lot of 3D shoots have 100 yard shots for money and I always give it a try if I have the extra cash. It is also just fun to push something to the limits, whether it be a quad or an arrow we all do it for the fun.
