I currently shoot a Shakespeare Necedah recurve 55#@28". My max with this bow is 20 yards.
I used to shoot a Pro-Line Force II (Thus, the name). It was 74 pounds pull, with overdraw etc. I was comfortable to 40yds with this bow and shot 2 deer pretty close to that. My average was probably just a tad over 20yds.
As far as not having to shoot over 20-25 yards due to homework....That's rediculous.
Deer are patternable. They are creatures of habit...but to say that if you do your homework they will come down the same exact trail time and time again is foolish.
To say that if you do your homework it is not possible for a deer to show up 10 yds past where you thought is amazing to me. Here I was thinking I was a pretty good hunter...I must be an idiot! LOL <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I've been a bowhunter all my life, but I don't claim to be the worlds best. I see lots of deer and even kill my fair share. But for somebody to call any deer "LETHARGIC" is an absolute joke.
Lazy, sluggish, dopey, heavy and stupid are all synonyms for lethargic. Doesn't sound anything like the deer I hunt.<font size=6></font id=size6><font color=red></font id=red>
