OK. I have taken three deer at long ranges. I took one a 50 yards, one at 70 yards, and one at 80 yards. First, let me say that I had someone with me on each occasion. And secondly, let me also say that this was several years ago and I was shooting the 3-D Circiuit hard. I probably was shooting 500 arrows a week or more. I practiced out to 80 yards every week as well. All three shots were wide open and perfectly broadside. I practiced the long ranges primarily for Antelope but ended up getting the long shots at deer. Believe it or not, all three shots were clean pass throughs. I was shooting Easton X-7 2213's with 75 grain Rockets on two of them and an Easton ACC 3-39 with a 100 grain Muzzy on the other. Now, let me say that even though I still shoot year round and still shoot an occasional 3-D, I would not take a shot at any animal over 50 yards today. Everyone who bowhunts should establish their maximum effective range and stick with it. Avoid the temptation of flinging the long shot, hoping for a good result. Only shoot if you haveCONFIDENCE that you can make the shot.
