Being able to reliably hit a very small target at 70 yards at full draw is exactly what I would want for hunting. That game is easily spooked and can likely evade you better than you can chase it. Why in the world would you want to get any closer than necessary and be moving while attempting to shoot it?

Not to mention that his 10 shots at the beginning of the video are no where close to full draw. I'd suspect that even if he did hit an animal with hide that it would not be a lethal shot.

You might be hunting bison or hunting on horseback(or an ATV).

Hunting at 70 yards? All the bowhunters at my club practice below 50 yards.

That's exactly my point. Olympic archery is at 70 yards, and they are very consistent at hitting the inner rings of the target. That extra distance would be great for hunting.

would it be ok to write the amount in m - this yard values still have no meaning to me and probably many others here

Had to look it up

70 yards = 64 metres

50 yards = 45 metres
