my top pin is set for 35 yards, i still have 2 1/2 inch groups with a 100g broadhead
Wow! What is your bottom pin set for? 225? You must hunt in some steep mountains or wide open plains or something.;)The 2 1/2 inch groups, are they at 35 yards? What is the yardage of your longest shot at a deer?

I have only shot one deer out of the 27 i have shot in my life futher then 20 yards and it was right around 47 yards on christmas morning two years ago i pratice about 100 days a year from my tree stand in the back yard at a river bottom buck i have set up the only reason i took the 47 yard shot was there was no wind and a clear strait shot from a ground blind i would normally not take a shot from futher then 35 yards in the woods tho

41 on a 6pt watching a doe. Punched a hole right through his heart he ran about 60yd and was out for the count. I normally don't shoot past 30 but he had his full attention on the doe and i was sure he was going 2 stay put there was no wind and i practice regulary out to 45. If that opportunity presented itself again i would take it.

I shoot in competitions all over, and ive made shots in doors as far as 75yds, the furthest that ive killed a deer was 67yds double lunged a doe and i shot my buck last year a 155 10 pointer at 52yds and he only ran 40yds, I take my shots off of how the deer is acting if he is calm and has no idea im there and hes 50 yds then im gonna whack him, but if hes cautious then ill wait, im all about an ethic kill.

I have taken 1 doe at 32 steps and that is the longest so far. Most
of my shots have been 20 to 25 steps and a few less than 20 but
if I had a clear shot at 40, I would not hesitate. I practice out to
50 all the time but would not feel comfortable taking a shot that far
at a real deer.

37 yards on a Mule Deer. He was quartered away, hit behind the last rib and came out the opposite shoulder, he went about 15 yards. I practice out to 50 but like to keep the shots 30 and under if possible.

I like to keep them under 30....25 is nice.....heck....I really want like 20. I think my sig explains my point rather well.

That being said.....I was ofered the perfect shot this year at 35 yds and I took it. The BB went 12 yds and collapsed. I guess I need to hone my hunting skills a little more.
