RE: Longest shot and shortest
Longest kill was a doe at 52 yards in a open field under perfect conditions. Took me a while to decide to take the shot, but as I said it was during perfect conditions.
Closest kill was at < 3 feet (his hind end was touching my pull rope) on a nice 9 pointer in 2004. I hit the rattling horns and he came from no where straight to my tree.
Closest miss was on a doe at about 7 yards. I was 35 feet up and shot under her, lesson learned about aiming for your exit instead of your entry.
