I shoot a Darton Excel 55# XX75 2013 arrows, thunderhead 100's. The longest shot was around 35 yards but I will probably not take that risk again unless I have to. Most are within 10-15yards. I hunt out of a treestand usually around 20-30ft up full camo, scent blocking clothing, attracting scents scattered about, and game calls. Some may see this as cheating I see it as fun. Nothing like that big broad beamed 10 walking over to your stand angry as all hell because he hears a challenger and smells a little lady that is ready. God I love whitetails in rut late November.
