[QUOTE="188MULE, post: 500415, member: 22670"] Find a bow you can shoot really, really well at 40 yards preferably one advertised at over 300fps. This could be your typical whitetial setup. Upgrade your sight to a 7-9 pin set up and get some small pins for the long ranges. Get a smaller peep, and extend your sight out as far as you can to increase your sight plain. Go to a good containment dropaway. Do not shoot light arrows 400 grain min. All fixed blade heads will plain or impact differently than you target tips even if tuned, so shoot broad heads most of the time. If legal in your area shoot a good mechanical, like the rage or the old rocky mountain gator. Arrows like gold tip hunters have worked well for me and are reasonably priced, number each one a shoot them at 40 yards with broad heads many many times and keep track of all the impact points. Factory arrows with the factory four inch vanes work great after weeding out the flyers. When you get to the point where you can't shoot at the same bull at 40 because your sick of ruining arrows move out to 50 then 60 and so on. Beyond all else your form will allow you to be proficient at extended ranges. And if you have a noticeable cross wind, get closer, especially if your shooting a fixed blade. I took my 40 yard whitetail setup out to a 100 yd setup by doing these simple things. Also I shot every day for many months hardly ever closer than 50 yards and when I couldn't hit I always realized it was my form. Like I said the factory goldtip hunters have worked for me very well but I always find a couple flyers in each dozen, you wouldn't see it out to 30 but after that they will start to show up. [/QUOTE]
