    I would say 35 maybe 40 yards, that is where I would feel comfortable. I prefer not to shoot more then 35, dont really want to actually! [8D]

    35 for me. I routinely practice at 50 and 60 yards, but this is just practice and fun. I wouldn't shoot a deer that far, although I am confident I could hit it squarely if I did.

    40-45 anything after that is a poke and a hope.
