It depends, out west when I used to Mule deer hunt the farthest shot was 60yds. But back home my average shot is under 30yds. Even though I shoot my deer at this closer range I still practice at 50-60yds all the time so when it's time to take a closer shot it will be that much easier. You just have to keep praticing so you will feel comfortable taking the shot. Good luck deerman69
