i am very confident out to 40-50 yards. the reason the shot was the way it was because i estimated the yardage wrong after ranging it. hunting fields makes it hard to estimate yardage. I ranged one shot at 38 yards and he took a few yards past that so he was at like 43 yards while i was thinking it was 38. my bow drops a good bit at that yardage and that is the reason why i shot low. If it would have been a solid hit, he won't have run more than 100 yards to this thicket in the field. I did my best and backed out not knowing the hit, came back in the morning and found all the white hair with no blood and searched every inch of thicket. found beds but no blood or deer in any beds. I know he lived and maybe next year he will make the mistake of walking with bow range of me again
