I'd probably shoot 35 in a perfect sitation (on the ground level w/ deer and broadside). I have a funky shoulder so I don't get to practice very much.

These guys on tv are really stretching their distances the last few years. 50 and 55 yards! Lee Lakosky hit a antelope in that distance last year. Personally - I think they show us the good hits at that distance but not the bad ones. It gives people a false sense of what is a good shootingdistance. I was just watching one of the new drury videos and I swear the guy (Ben Reising or something like that???) was at about 55. Right after he fired the shot he started explaining himself. It was an absolute perfect hit though, gotta give him that.
