Ian.:
Google earth is good for measuring distances if there are two landmarks you can shoot between.

Yes - this is about 270-280 yards ;)

Ian.:
With respect I would be surprises if you were hitting 270, in time no problem but at the angle you were shooting I would think the distance would be more 220 off that bow, it does sound fast though.

What is the proper angle for shooting?

Ian.:
 45 degrees, which is much higher than it feels when you are shooting. Ask your friend to stand near you with a 45 degree angle and tell you to go higher or lower.

And its worth trying to hold your bow hand pretty still and not making any large movements when you release, just to let the arrow have a nice clean path.
