I practice out to 50 yards but in most places I hunt the longest shot I have is 35 yards. I really balk at anything over 30 yards unless it is in the open, i.e. not a lot of trees around. When there are a lot of trees around you may not see those little limbs out 20-30 yards that could deflect an arrow.

The longest shot I have ever taken with a bow on a deer was 32 yards, and the doe was facing me. She went about 20 yards and expired. I would never take a shot that far again with a deer facing me.
