My personal thoughts: what everyone said so far is RIGHT. heh Actually, it depends on the individual, and the situation. Long shots do require diligent practice at long range. If you do not practice these ranges at home or the 3d course, do not take them in the field. As archers, yes we do try to get as close as possible, but it doesn't always work out that way. Some areas are so wide open, or the game is so wary, that getting close means at least 30 yards for a shot, if not longer. One must also consider the elements, wind, rain, and all that jazz. There are times that having that 40 yard pin just might be the difference to a full freezer or an empty one. It all comes down to one thing: Preparation; if you are prepared, you should be ready.
oh yeah, for those guys that see one and just "let it fly?" that is a no no.

Ted totally right bout the elements, but not just a full or empty freezer, it would be the difference in possibly just injuring a deer that will go off to suffer and never be found.

Without hesitation as long as the shot situation allows it. Animal posture, wind etc. all come into play.
