RE: How Far Would you shoot at An Animal?
As the others have said, condition is everything. But also, am I shooting from the ground or in a stand. In perfect conditions if I felt comfortable, and I was on the ground,I would throw an arrow up to 60 yards. My highest pin is 80 yards and I can shoot a group of 6 in the 10 ring from 60,,,, but that is perfect conditions. I only pray that the situation only comes up a couple of times in my life. I would take a 20 yard kill on a nice deer any day over a 60 yard shot at the same caliber deer. For some reason, I am alot more comfortable shooting long distances from the ground. Just my opinion.
