Default shooting distance

i dont hunt with crossbow but i do shoot a lot with mine.any bow i would not shoot over 30 yds in brush.if you have nice clear shot at calm deer feeding ,i would take a 35 yd shot.i had chance at big buck last year at 33 yds.he smelled my code blue and was very excited.all i had was a back and neck shot.rain was coming at 7 pm and this was 30 minutes before dark.

i only take a clear shot behind shoulder at calm deer.so 30 yds is max i will shoot a buck,crossbow or my black widow bow.
