With my bow's speed, 327 FPS chronographed, I was able to set my sight at 35 yds and have no more than a 4" variance from the point of aim out to 45 yards. For elk, this is more than close enough to be in vitals if if aiming center mass. If I knew my shot had just extended to 45 yards, aiming top of the vitals would be fine. Sight Picture is clearer for low light conditions.
If I'm going to take a shot over 45, Then I want a calm animal and an accurate yardage, the risk of wounding is too great at those distances to not commit to having the above two criteria.
"The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. - Finn Aagard
