RE: Your longest honest shot
The longest shot I ever took at a deer was 32 yds. I thought it was closer (25-26) & the deer actually ducked down into my arrow & made for a perfectly placed shot. After that I have a couple known yardage shots around 24-25, a couple at 20-22 and the vast majority at under 17 yds.
A few weeks ago I took a later ranged 48 yard shot at a spike bull elk. I shot for 45 and my arrow deflected off a limb.
