RE: 40 yard shot
At 40yds the animal has enough reaction time to make it a bad shot. I've shot antelope at ranges that everyone would call me a liar. But the thing is if the animal knows of your presence and you shoot at 40yds its all going down hill fast. I practice up to 70yds but its all for fun not hunting. I want my animal close as I can get, that's the fun of bowhunting.
