Really! I have no problem shooting it to 100 - but I was worried about energy...
Effective range is probably farther, but that's my limit. Go with bow hunting proceedures and don't follow-up immediately. If I don't see or hear the deer crash I wait 30 minutes before tracking, just to be sure.
Excellent point! I really have a hard time with patience...
