Default what distances do you all practice out to?

Just wondering what is the "average" distance fellow bowmen (and women) practice to?


I am a firm believer on long distance practice, If I can put 10 out of 10 arrows in a little black hole target at 80yds I should never ever miss a shot at 40yds

I practice out to 55 yards. I would never take a shot at a whitetail from that distance while hunting but if you can sharpen your form to the point that hitting your target kill zone is no problem from 55 yards then it makes 25 yards seem like a slam dunk even in actual hunting situations.
