Default RE: Maximum Range?

To me bowhunting isnt about max range, its about how close can I get. Usually I would pass on anything over 45 yds, unless everything was perfect. If it was a monster buck, and he couldnt be brought closer, or was on his way out, I might risk a 50 yarder.In that case Iwould anticipate a lengthy stay in my stand to ensure he bled out...unless he dropped right there.

Any day at the range where I could think about my shot, and simply wounding the animal wasnt an issue, I would take 60-65 yrds all day long.

I mostly hunt in a stand in the woods where anything over 35-40 would be obstructed anyway.
