Kind of a spinoff of @gcr0003's "One shot, everyone knows the rules!" thread, let's see your long distance shooting groups. Whatever is long distance (LD) for you is all that matters. I really enjoyed shooting TAC this past early summer and in practicing for it I've been going up to my buddy's farm almost every night shooting from 40 to 90 yards with the hopes of eventually getting out to 125. I always thought, I would never be able to do it so I'm not going to try. What a mistake!! I kind of purposefully forced my own hand this spring to get ready and when you set a goal and know you have to achieve it, you usually make things happen in your mind (and body) to work toward that end. And it really is true, If you want to be good at 40 practice at 60 etc.
Disclaimer: This isn't practicing to shoot at game at >60 yards, its practicing to understand your form much better to become a better archery shot and bowhunter. Everything you do at short range is multiplied significantly at longer distance as you will find out, but do not fear!! Gather some old (lighter) arrows of the correct spine that you don't care about and start loosing them at longer distance targets. I've come to enjoy shooting a bow so much better with the added challange of long distance shooting practice. It really is a lot of fun. I hope it proves to be for you as well.
So post pics of your long-distance groups be it with Trad, Compound or Xbow!!
I'll start, here are my groups the other night at 60yards. Compound.
