RE: 40 yard shot
I could care less about how far someone else can and will shoot a deer. I personally won't take a shot past 30yds, however, my dad will fling one out there at 50yds, but he can consistently group 6 arrows at that distance, I can't.
The problem I had with some previous posts was the total lack of respect for the animal, not caring whether they wounded an animal or not, that is pretty sorry IMO.
