I don't shoot further than 40 yards. I also won't shoot longer than 30 in most conditions. Every deer but one was closer than 15 though, this last season I shot a doe at 42 paces that was completely unalert, at 8:00am, and broadside. I was stacking 4" groups at that distance all summer so it felt right before I hit the release and it hit her perfectly. I probably wouldn't shoot that far again though unless all conditions were perfect.
