      I think if you shoot at 30 yards with any weight arrow enough your instincts will become “learned” ( I say educated but I haven’t seen anybody getting any degrees in archery unless they’re self awarded 😀 ) to shoot that distance.

      Your arrow will be some slower probably. There is an argument about that also using some FOC so… another chapter…

      In days of old using “less efficient” equipment, supposedly, the great archers shot game at much further distances than 30 yards. But they practiced at those yards.

      I’m not preaching shooting longer shots but I believe that there are people perfectly capable of shooting them.

      The whole world is not made for 20 yard and under shots so practice the longer yardages with your gear then you can determine it they’re in your capability of taking them.

      This is one of the topics that can be if, and, and butted til the sun goes down. Someone will always say their way is the only way and that’s fine, that’s the way of the world..

      If you can do it, do it, if not don’t shoot.

      I’m not a proponent of way heavy arrows anyway, 10 grs. or so per pound of bow weight has worked for me many years.

      Not saying that I don’t have some carbon arrows with some weight up front, that’s the only way I can get the stiff suckers to fly to suit me without them being spear length.:wink:

      There’s more than one way to skin a cat, just get good at it whichever way of skinning you choose.

      Just my thinkin, Ralph

                They do’em in digital? I don’t do Latin and have no desire to learn. I may shoot a longbow but I don’t dwell in the past.

                Besides I hunt from see to cain’t see or I get worn out so why let time be a worry. Gut tells me time to eat, dusk tells me time to quit.

                I’ll worry about time when other things going on.

                  Sometimes a little gentle persuasion works better than a whole bunch of these, “You sorry little *&#@#*&^’s” 🙄

                  😀

                      Umm. Another lesson about deleting a photo from Photobucket, it goes away here.

                      Oh well, was nothing but blarney anyway.

                      This handiwork of the ancients more interesting anyway.

                          Ha, bought an inexpensive watch, digital, for my target setup and 3D shoot trip. The job and country I felt might be conducive to cell phone loss or abuse.

                          It took me two days to start looking at my wrist again instead of reaching for my phone to see the time.

                          Also had a dozen mini strokes checking to see if my phone was in my pocket and it wasn’t. Gahhh. We’re creatures of habit!!!!

                              I think she was trying to figure out what that old wrinkled thing was that was poking around in her house. 🙂

                              Was fun, I came across a group of 5 or 6 muley does. They never spooked but I gave them no reason to.

                              It amazes me that some animals seem to sense the intent of other animals.

                              We humans do that to an extent also methinks just not so much as prey animals.

                              Perhaps we have an increase in the use of those senses if we get into a situation where we might be harmed or eaten.:?
