Default RE: Killing distance

The question should be "how close can I kill a deer ,moose ,elk etc?"I am a bowhunter with 44 years behind me And I still beleive 20 yard to be the longuest shot and one yard to be quite close.Too many thing can turn a nice shot to an horrible shot.I avoid practicing
30 yards cause I am human and if I get accurate I might try those shot in hunting season and hunting is not target shooting.Take my advise be a perfect shot at 20 yards and less and you wont feel sorry for a poor shot and a wonded animal that will suffer before dying.Don't fuel the antis with questionable shot.That is the way I am .
Now I am 58 and still do 20 and less shot.
The real trill in bow hunting is to get your quarry to less than 10 yards.
Try that and you will always be a bowhunter.
Many quit bowhunting due to malpractice this lovely sport.Think about it
