I'm curious why it matters how far you can or would be willing to shoot an animal. If were talking about tuning a bow at 60 or 80 yards that may be important. Not how far we shoot at animals, it seems to me like a peeing contest. I CAN SHOOT DEER AT150YARDS WITH MY BOW, WOO-HOO. I read both posts and responded to the first one that came up. I guess know one seen my point. I think there is no difference in shooting a squirl or a deer, it is up to us to be responsible and make the ethical shot. Sorry if I step on anyones toes, it's only my opinion.
