RE: max shooting distance
I shoot just under 210fps and have feathers, so drag gets me after about 35 yards. I practice to 40yds, tune to 40yds, and then shoot animals within 30yds. I really like it up close anyway. That's my big thrill...knowing I got inside their comfort zone without being detected.
Enough goes wrong out there when you do everything right. I don't have a desire to stack the odds against myself, and be left with more wounded deer than recovered ones.
