When I was a young lad, I once took a 75 yard shot(estimate). It was the most unethical thing I have done in my hunting career. It was a monster buck and I was hungry for success. The result was lousy but there was a silver lining. I hit the deer perfectly behind shoulder but the arrow must have hit a bone. The arrow did not penetrate. When I found the arrow, there wasn't even blood on the blades on my mechanical head. The good part of the story was the buck survived and I got to watch him for 2 more years until he was hit by a car on the highway. In my more experienced years, I would not shoot over 30 yards.
