I'm looking at my range out back (in the snow) as we speak. There is a world of difference between 20 and 35 yards. Twenty 20 perhaps, 35 may be stretching a 100 lbr a bit. I'm sure it can be done with patience and good shooting. I'd rather be sure on our large northern withetails and opt for a 150 compound and 200 Excal. If it's a issue of drawing the bow, there are mechanical devices that will enable that.
