Question reaching the distance
Assuming a draw length of 28" and a bow weight of 30lb. should I reasonably expect to reach 50 yards with a certain amount of accuracy?

Happily shoot an EFAA marked course with targets up to 80 yds with a 35lb hunter.

I have 32lb with a 25" draw - can reach 100 yards if I'm feeling daft (not that you'd think that if you'd seen me at Bronte!!)

You should have no problem at all but 32lb with a 25" draw surely equates to 26lb on the fingers and can shoot 100 yds?? I doubt it!
