i think we all bowhunters have had a buck or doe around 40-45 yards. atthis distance theres alot that can go wrong and leed to an injured deer. jumped string/windage/elevation.40 yards is a long way for an ethical clean heat/lung shot. i was wondering if any of you guys or galstake this far shot?
for me personally i would only take this shot if the deer had no idea i was there and orno wind. if there was a little blow in the wind or the deer sensed something i would just have to watch and enjoy the deer at that distance. i practice at my 3d range at 20,30,40,50,60 yards. 20 and 30 are always grouping and just were i want the arrow to go. any more yards after that the arrow is all over the place. i beleive in take only close ethical shots. all the deer i ever had shot died within a minute of the shot, but i had a buddy who shot a doe at 90 yards and stuck her in the gut area, and it took hours to find that deer. this deer ran at least 600 yards from where the shot took place all that suffering and trouble just beacuse it was an unethical shot and the broadhead didnt peirce the heart lung region.
whats your thoughts on this?
