I dont even want to tell you how far I shoot deer with my xbow. One thing I can say is I do not over extend my shooting. I will only shoot at a distance I can kill VERY well at and no more.I allso shoot my STICK bow 40 yards. Well more than any animal I have shot with it. So what is the big deal if I shoot mu safari out to 80 yards than deside how far to kill with it. I what distance I shoot in the yard only tells my how far I will shoot in the feild.As I stated I shot ONE animal over 25 yards in my 17 years killing with many difrant bows.Now how you think I shoot long with my old mity compound I do not get.
And if you cant shoot your cap and ball 80 yards you should stay at home. I shoot a home made slick bore.I do not have a problem shooting 80 yards any day.I allso have 4 more caps that will do WAY better than my slick.I do not own any in lines nor do I shoot sabits.
And I do beleave I could shoot at my targets at 100 yards. I jumped up in bow for the reason I did not feel good shooting any animals over 25 yards with a bow. Now I am pushing a 29 1/2'' at 550 gr at the speed of297 with 94#. Now for the 1st time I beleve if I do hit a twig of miss my mark and hit a bone I will still get a pass though and extra blood trail.For this reason I MAY [not sure yet ] extend my range some on big game. AS I all ready stated this will depend on my arrow flight with blades on.
