RE: what range do you prefer to shoot game at?
I like the 25-30 yard action. In my experience, inside 20 yards the first movement of a deer when they hear to bow go off is some type of bodily movement. Extend that distance to 30 and beyond, and the first movement they make is to pick their head up and look in the direction of the sound. By then... it's too late. If my shooting performance dropped off after 20 yards, I'd reconsider that thought... but for now I like a little bit of real estate between us.
