RE: Shot distances
Had two shots on bucks this year that I passed on that I'd have tried in years past. They were 28 and 30 yards, but walking. I could have drawn on them and tried to stop them by making a noise, but I just didn't like the distance. It seems the more I bowhunt the more I prefer my shots within 20 yards. The three shots I've made this year so far were 10-12 and 15 yards. All good hits, and thats what counts- knowing you made a good hit. A much more comfortable distance when dealing with wirey sting jumpy deer.
