Thunderhead or Wasp 3-blade broadheads (100 gr)
It makes a difference what type of hunting you are talking about...
Whitetails from a treestand in my home state of Iowa...average is around 20 yards...with my longest shot taken being 33 yards
Just got done with a 2 week hunt in Arizona for Javilina and Coues deer (Whitetail to folks in Arizona)....shot a huge boar javilina at 48 yards from my Double Bull blind over a water hole (only traveled 20 yards)
...also missed 2 whitetails at 45 and 50 yards<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>...and felt lucky to get a chance at that distance.
In the 6 years I have hunted in Arizona, average shot distance is around 40 yards...you are not going to get as close to those deer as you can to a deer up north hunting from a treestand.
