I know a fella who in large black letters on the belly of the top limb fade has the words FOCUS!!! to see while shooting.Not a bad idea either.

I try to never shoot past 15yrds. I prefer 15yrds and under when shooting at live game. at this distance i know i can hit a softball size circle.I am confidant at that range and i feel to be confidant in your weapon is the most important part in being successful taking game. the more you become successful the more confidence. The more you try to push the limits of your effective/accurate range and you wound or miss game the confidence level drops. This snowballs on the archer/hunter and then makes him/her question their abilities,question their equipment,question after question will ensue and this is what causes many a primitive/traditional archer to loose interest in our great sport. So i feel a individuals accurate/effective range should all they need to worry about.. Long shots are for the range and fun. they have no place in shooting at game that we respect so much.

With a laminated bow I can go 25-30 but with my self bows i stay under 20.
