I've only shot 2 deer over 20 yds. I honestly don't know what my EXACT max range would be. In the yard I can shoot real well to 60. I ain't taking a shot that far under any conditions I currently hunt. 30yds....probably if I really don't think I'll get something closer and its a good shot. 35 yds I just really don't know until I'd have that big buck standing before me. My head and shooting ability say I smoke him. My heart and pessimism says its too far.
