RE: What is your max range with a trad bow?
My regular practice sessions reach out to 40 yards and I'm pretty confident about my gaps out to that distance. Now, the furthest shot I've taken on any animal paced off at 29 paces. I estimated her to be 30 yards. She was veryslightlyquartering away and calmly munching on soybeans. It was one of those times when everything just felt right, so I pulled up, set my gap and sent an arrow through the back part of the rib cage taking out both lungs. She never even pulled here head up out of the beans until the arrow was already through her. I don't setup for shots that long, but every now and again, one will present itself. I look at each situation and base my decision to take the shot on how the animal is behaving and the overall feel of the situation. More often than not, Iend up passing on shots much over 25 yards but everyoncein awhile I'll look at a situation andit just feels right.
