Doesn't there have to be a predetermined number? And to determine that number, don't we have to define it?
I wasn't aware that's what you were asking....but I can't put a number on it. I've killed deer fromas far as33yds....and I'd take THAT shot, again.
But I keep going back to this....
I feel that this will change with every opportunity that is presented in the woods.
That's not a cop-out....as I've said before that I'm probably comfortable inside 25yds.....with the closer (to a point) the better."Inside 20 yds"means less, to me, than the situation. I might take a longer shot at a calm deer....and not take a shorter shot at a deer on alert.
I've screwed a few up.[X(]
