I shoot some out to 70 yards. The furthest I will take a shot with optimal conditions is 50 yards.

I dont practice any further than I will shoot in a normal situation, 50yds is my max. I find it useless to shoot any further than you would shoot a deer. I have killed several deer at 45-48yds, these shots were all ranged. Also I like to practice out of a stand this way you are practicing just like you will be hunting. Use your harness also, this way you can simulate the exact way you are hunting. Why do you find it useless to shoot further than you would if you were hunting? I've noticed a huge difference in my accuracy at hunting yardages, since I started shooting way out there. At 80 yds I can tell every time I do the most minute inconsistency. Every time I pull that arrow 6" it gives me something to work on . When is shoot at 40yds, that same in insistence might only change my impact by 1/2"

Practice out to 80, shoot out to 60ish.

I like to practice out to 50ish when i can but don't see myself shooting past 30-35 (can't most of the places I hunt anyway).
Get consistent at 50 and 30 is a chip shot.

45 yards is my max. I'm always in the woods when I'm bow hunting, and I dont reckon there's too many shots where I'm at that are longer than 45 yards anyway.
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Treat every shot the same. To think one in your mind is easier just because of the closer distance is hurting yourself.

I shoot out to 100 yds but wouldnt shoot a deer past 80yds. With my current arrow setup the broadhead starts taking over and stearing the arrow somewhere around 80 yds. Its hard to tell but the arrow hooks left in the last few yards in this video. Hits dead on at 80yds and dead on at 100yds with target tips.

Practice at differing distances. I start at 25, move to 35, move to 45 and work back in on the same schedule. I have only killed one deer over 35 yards with my bow, the rest were all inside of 20 yards. Getting close is the name of the game in bow hunting and once inside of 20 yards, it is all on you. With today's bows, the sky is the limit on distance.
I killed over 100 deer with my bow and never shot over 220 fps and the longest shot was 36 yards. I also never practiced over 30 yards back then, but occasionally would stretch out the distances if there were a lot of folks shooting with me egging all of us on..
