Farthest Distance shot with a compound bow

[Robert58]

I shoot out to 80Yds in the Field Round. But back in the late 50's when I belonged to the Longhorn Archery Club in Pasadena, TX as part of the Club Champoinship we shot the Clout Round. That is a Round with a target layed out on the ground with ropes making a circle about 15 or 25 feet in diameter with a flag pole in the center like a Golf Flag Pole and you shot at it from 180 yds. And that was with Recurves and Long Bows. Didn't have Compounds back then.

Now that is what I call a long shot Bob, hell i bet you eat half of it by the time you get home, and then you have to do it all over again,
how is that RazorX shooting? let us know.

Hi Roger,
I only wish. Any thing over 40metres could stand there and blow raspberries in perfect safety. Still waiting on that razor x, and I'm not a very patient waiter either. Still a wise man once said all things come to those who wait.

During the summer - up to 100m (about 110yards) - i've hit the target on the 10th shot, about 2-3" above the X, without using a pin-my sight is set to 70metres... In all other seasons i can only shoot in the backyard - 15 yards

That's too bad. Now I will have to remember not to take my 70 yards for granted.

Don't worry, it wasn't because of my skills, just luck. The other 9 shots were out of the target (well, all less then a foot of it). I didn't try this distance anymore, because there's too much walking and i had only 4 arrows

[Hutch~n~Son Archery]

Well, I shot at 100 yards yesterday, and out of 10 shots, only 3 hit. This was because my sight only goes to about 90 yards, so I had to estimate where I should put my pin. It was cool to watch my 420 grain arrow fly to the target though. The only arrow I lost was when I shot at 60 yards because I thought I was at 70 yards! That arrow flew over the target by 5 to 10 feet!

[RogerSr]

That is why I use a range finder, with it I have not lost a arrow in a long time at that kind of range I can't judge very well and I know it.

That's probably the only piece of hunting equipment I don't own, so I walked the entire length while counting each step. Of course, each step wasn't quite a yard, so I walked a little farther beyond 100 steps.
