For the record, I have only taken one shot over 30 yards in the feild on game after killing dozens of animals. So I am just reporting what I have seen.

But I have watched a few people take some long shots in fields etc. a few times. And one thing I notice is the animal does not spook at the report of the bow, near as bad as say up close. In fact, I have witnessed one 60 yard shot, and noticed in the time the arrow took to get there, the deer did not duck, or flinch, just looked at us before getting nailed. Could be a few things. Newer bows are much quieter. My old PSE is very loud. My Commander doesn't hardly make a noice. I remember my old PSE whitetail hunter used to scare me to death at the shot. No wonder deer would jump before the shot.

But I have taken shots at deer at like 15 yards with my old old compound, and the deer is alert looking right at me. And I know when I release they will jump forward and down. And sure enough they do.

Has anyone else noticed this or witnessed a long shot.
