RE: How far is your average shot for a deer?
I shot one @ 12, 23, and my longest ever 43. I vowed I would never take a shot over 30-35 yards but I watched her for over an hour and had no shakes whatsoever so I took the shot. It was the best shot that I have ever made and probably ever will. I probably won't ever take another shot that long but the circumstance was perfect.
