i am very new at this and was wondring what is the avrege range at witch you have taken most of your criters. need yelp sighting in and dont wont to short myself.

Most of my shots have been at 25 yards or less. I use one pin set at 20 yards and just aim lower on closer shots.

I seem to remember a quote that the average archery shot is at 18 yards. That info has been around for awhile though so I do not know if things have changed in recent years. I suspect little if any.

I also use one pin set dead on at 20yds and 99% of my shots are 20yds and less. I'm confident out to 30yds but the areas i hunt are thick and there isn't many shot opportunites past 25yds.

I'd say most of my shots are 15-20 yards. I feel comfortable out to about 30 yards.

I read an article in one of the popular bow hunting mags last year that said that the average shot that a "professional" bow hunter had taken deer at was 19 1/2 yards. Sound about right to me, professional or not.

I've never shot more than 25 years at a deer. I have a pin set at 35 and if the right shot were presented I am 100% positive I could drive it home.

if the right shot were presented

This is key!
