1 million yards! I'm not sure why this comes up so often, why does it matter what you think your maximum effective yardage is. It changes withevery hunt, and every person. I've been in situations were I wouldn't shoot over 15 yards. If someone hunted that same stand behind me they might think they could make a 40 yard shot. Is this a way to compare your shooting to someone elses? Good luck on your path to effective yardage, and sorry if I came off as a jerk but I've seen this same topic at least 2 other times.
