I shot a deer at about 7 yards quartering hard away.I used my 20,dead center.The entry and exit were perfect and the deer ran 60 yards and fell dead.
That is great you have your limits and stay within them.I would assume you hunt fairly high.Most of my stands are 20' or less.The previous case was about a 15' drop because it was on the upside of a hill.
