RE: question for all you elk and mule deer hunters
I would have to agree with the majority here I have taken long shots and have killed everything I was shooting at but I would not tell anybody that does not know there own ability or the animal there hunting ( body langage or habits) to shoot past there abilitys.
I shoot between 200 & 500 arrows just about every day from 0 to 80 yards . I would never take a shot pass 70yds (at any animal) and every aspect would have to be just right for 60 to 70yds.
The reason I shoot 80 is it seems to help me with target panic, and it helps me with lesser yardage groups.
To each there own.
