Default RE: Shot distance poll

Compound- Avg distance is about 13-15 yards for all shots taken

I've taken only 2 deer over 30 yards.....one at 33, the other at 40.
My honest max effective distance if the conditions are right is probably 40 yards, but I need some good indications that I'm shooting at a very relaxed and stationary target at that range. I really start to feel comfortable at 30 yards......comfortable that less can go wrong with the animal moving.
I practice routinely back to 80-90yards.....do that for a session and move into 40. It looks and feels like 20.
