Up to 50 yards is my effective range. I am very accomplished at 50yards and actually did take a nice 8pt that was a solid 50 yard shot last weekend. The arrow zipped through the lungs 3 inches from where I intended it to go.

To be honest, I have a dead zone at 20 yards that I struggle with. I can shoot incredible groups at 40-50 yards but somehow struggle with 20 yard shots. Last year, I missed a monster 8 pt at 20 yards. Go figure. This year I drill a nice 8 pt at 50 yards. Keep in mind that I only would take a shot of 40-50 if the conditions where perfect, as they were with the 8pt I just shot. I guess you have to evaluate every situation as they come. Thats the beauty of bow hunting. Every situation is different and you must adapt or eat tag soup.
