Farthest bull eyes practice shot?

RE: Farthest bull eyes practice shot?
I love long range practice although I dont do it as often anymore (havent the time to get back into that mental groove). I have a clear shot out to 85 yards where i practice. It also is about as far as i can shoot with my current sight w/o running out of room. I attach a pop can to the front of my target, so when I am dead on, I can hear it. I still struggled with consistancy tho, I could only get 2/3 arrows hitting or very near the can.
the longest I ever shot actually was shot at a local 3D shoot three years ago. A dollar an arrow allowed you to shoot at something like 130 yards, if you hit the 3" balloon on the target you took half the pot. my sight was not adjustable, so i had to put my 85 yard pin on a branch 6 feet over the targets top (and above the backstop), after a little trial and error, I got my arrows falling right around it and at about my 7th shot, I netted $34. I didnt try to do it again

That was fun I bet Joe!! We use to get a bunch of us Traditional guys and girls together and shoot at disc's. One guy would throw them way up in the air and the rest of us would be shooting our flu flu arrows at it. We were getting to the point where hitting the disc was fairly easy so who ever was quick enough to hit the center of the disc wins. The center pops out and usually the arrow stayed in so it was easy to know who won. Man that was fun.

I was drawing back on my brothers bow, target at 30 yards. The string loop broke, and the arrow went flying, but hit the bullseye, which was pretty sweet, but very scarry.

i hit a 3" bullseye at 67yds.
i wont lie. i did it one time. 3rd arrow. other 2 fell just low. the drop from 60 to 67yds is harsher than i thought. all 3 were good windage wise though.
hit a couple 3" bulls at 60.
all this was done at a 3d shoot they had some fun stuff like that to do after the shoot...pay to shoot and if you hit you can win stuff...
ive shot groups out to 60 and had a 60yd pin at the time...practiced 40 every day...50 and 60 i practiced a couple times a week...my 50 and 60yd groups were OK...werent pretty...but were better than my buddies 30yd groups...with practice and time i could have shrunk them.
