It was 40, but since I got my new bow, I haven't had a chance to practice or sight in beyond 30. So right now, 30.

30 for me. I practice and can accurately shoot easily to 40 but I just like having them close. There's no question that the farther away the easier to miss. I hate to miss. So I choose to shoot the highest percentage of shots I can.

30 yards as well,just way to many variables when hunting whitetails.

30 without hesitation.
40 if conditions are perfect.
60 if the deer is made of foam.

35 yards top. Maybe 40 if under ideal conditions.

Depends 45 in the open, 30 in heavy cover. I can't see small branchs that could cause a wound instead of a good hit at more than 30 yds. Lee

30 yards max period. I feel comfort to about 45 yards, but will never shoot at a deer greater than 30. 30 yards is 90 feet... thats far.
