I shot one just the other day at 43 yards. It was already hit by a friend, but I would have taken that shot either way if it was a deer I wanted to kill. It certainly hit the boiler room and put him down very very quickly. He was plenty lively too before I shot him.

I will shoot to 50 under perfect conditions. I don't practice as much as I used to last winter, but I still make enough quality practice shots every week with my rig to feel confident killing a deer under ideal shooting conditions @ 50 yards more than 28 times out of 30. I have never missed or wounded a deer on a shot past 25 yards and I have killed a few that were way past that.

With that all said, there are very very few shots I will take past 35 yards.
