The farthest I have ever shot a deer was a doe at just under 35 yards. She was standing broadside with her head down when I shot. I ended up hitting her in the spine with the arrow sticking almost straight up and slightly angled back. She would have to have turned almost 90 degrees and dropped her rear a quite a bit from the time I shot til the arrow hit. I'm not saying I wouldn't take that shot again, but nothing is guaranteed.
