No I am not perfect I made mistakes and that is why I know he is giving good advice

Of course it makes sense but I believe the original poster made the shot at an elk at 40 yards that’s not a long shot for a compound bow hunter at all.
But for a Trad hunter then yes that’s to far. Nothing against trad guys but They ARE far from perfect.
Truth be told some people are great shots with rifle or bow on targets but put a live animal in front of them.... not so much. Then you have your key board experts - never miss, never have an unseen branch deflect arrow or Bullet, never misjudged a-range estimate LOL.
No matter what Murphy’s law does exist.
