To hit a target at 31-60ft the wielder takes disadvantage to accuracy and looses two Hit Die level. You cannot hit a target beyond 60ft.

In this case, they would roll a d6 and subtract halve round down from the accuracy check. If the Character has an advantage then instead of the disadvantage canceling out the advantage the player adds half of there Advantage roll to the accuracy check. To learn about advantages/disadvantages go here or Range increments go here.
