I can only guesstimate that my longest shot with a muzzleloading rifle that took a deer was maybe 60 yds. Like Bronko and Cayugad I prefer to hunt in the woods or thickets where a long shot may be 70+ yds. at best. But then, I prefer to hunt with sidelocks and open sights, never got much enjoyment from a scoped in-line.
