I shoot with a Keller pendulum sight from a treestand, so my maximum distance for any shot is determined by my bow and the sight. My old bow was accurate to 22 yds. I have bought a new bow that is much faster and should theoretically shoot further . All that being said, I still limit my shots at deer to less than 20 yds. I remember reading the results of a study several years ago that said, the average deer, given any sort of warning, can outjump an arrow at about 19 yds. I don't think wounding the deer is worth my shot. You must know your own capabilities and those of your equipment. Good luck.
