I see posts on these boards all the time that refer to the longer shots out west. Was wondering from the rest of you westerners if you shoot long distances. I have lived out here for six years, have taken several turkeys, whitetail, mule deer, and antelope with a bow and my longest shot to date was my antelope this year at 32 yards. I don' t condsider that a long shot. There are a lot of wide open spaces out here but using terrain and some skill you can most always get within 30 yards. The exception would be decoying antelope, you have no control over how close they come, but in my experience if they respond they have always come to around 20 yards. Guys from the east throw your hats in the ring if you have been out here hunting. Was just wondering. I won' t debate the fact that there is more opportunity to shoot long out here but most bowhunters I know don' t do it.
