I am not sure it can be defined, there are too many variables involved. I feel that this will change with every opportunity that is presented in the woods.
100% true. It also depends on the caliber of shooter you're talking about. What you shoot consitently is not what I shoot. What you consider a safe distance I do not. Different for every person in every situation.
Exactly. Which is why I can't tell you what you're range is, YOU have to have that defined before you go out. Right?
Yes, YOU have to define it for yourself. For me, it's my first real year bow hunting. I'll do 20 yards tops. I don't havea shot from my stand that would be further. Come Oct 4th I would probably feel comfortable at 30 yards, but I wouldn't take itunless it's 100% the most prime opportunity. So for me year 1, effective range is 20 yards. Defined.
