RE: What is your max distance?
 

Depends a lot on the critter I'm about to kill and how I feel about the shot. I usually try and stay within 20 paces but have been known to shoot out to 30 on big game and 40 on squirrels and stumps.

RE: What is your max distance?
 

I just killed my first deer this year with my bow at 40 yards.

RE: What is your max distance?
 

My max is about 40 yards.

RE: What is your max distance?
 

My max is 30 yds. but do practice out to 40 yds.
Have never shot anything over 22 yds. though.
(even when I use to hunt with a gun(have not used in 15 yrs.), I never shot anything that was over 60 yds.)

RE: What is your max distance?
 

About the same as everybody else but the only diffenece would be before I go elk hunting I practice a lot out to 60 yards and would take a 50 yard shot on an elk If I know his exact yardage and he had no Idea I was there. A friend of mine who has the good fortune of spending a good amount of his life hunting just about everything with a bow says that on certain animals like elk he would feel better about taking a 40-50 yard shot on a calm animal than taking the chance of getting another 10 or 20 yards closer and trying to get a shot on a nervous animal. I mostly deer hunt and for me especailly in the woods with a treestand I wouldn't take anything over 30 and have been lucky enough that most was under 20 Just my own opinion and I think it depends on how much you practice and all the conditions.

I feel comfortable out to 30 yards.

RE: What is your max distance?
 

practice and hav pins out to 60 yds. Most hunting oppertunities are 20 yds or less, 90 percent of deer ive taken hav been 15 yds or less,BIG BUCKS=THICK WOODS=AMBUSH CLOSE

RE: What is your max distance?
 

I practice out to 60, but when conditions are right the longest shot at a deer would be around 40.

30 yards for me. I would rather watch them than taking a shot that I would be uncomfortable with. I shot my first one this year at 20 yards.
