Default RE: The longest shot you would take?

At the range last Friday, I took a 70 yard shot at a Buffalo 3-d target. First one was under second one was over, third I drilled it.

At a live whitetail, the situation would have to dictate itself. But probably not past about 25 yards.

With my longbow, I might take a 20yard shot, but it would have to feel real good. I feel much better with a 15 yard shot. I lost a doe this year over a bad shot, so my confidense is little low.

You guys are assuming he means at a live whitetail correct? I'm not sure if that's what is being asked.
