Maximum Confident Shooting Range???
Quick question; what isthe maximum range (yards)you feel comfortable shooting an animal at? Furthermore, would thatfarthermost range change ifit were a buck vs. a doe,etc.?? I mean, we've all heard the stories of Howard Hill and Fred Bear and Chuck Adams and what not, but how far is too far for you. Be honest..."macho men" need not reply.;)

ORIGINAL: early in My personal maximum effective range is 30yrds, I won't shoot past this!;) With bowhunting, it ain't about how far you can shoot em, its how close you can shoot em! |

0-50 depending on a lot of things. What sex doesn't figure into the occasion. I prefer and wait for 20 or less and have passed on shots well within my range expecting a better shot..... and had it all go to he!! before I got the shot. That's hunting.

My max is 30 yards, I practice further but do not feel comfortable yet. I try and keep it within 25...

RE: Maximum Confident Shooting Range???
max at 45 but my shots are usually at 15 to 25

To all you guys that shoot 40 and 50 yard shots I have a question. I'm not judging you, I just really want an honest answer:
Is your probability of wounding an animal higher at 50 yards than it is at 25 yards? I mean, I know you CAN hit the vitals at 50 yards. But can you do it 9 out of 10 times at 50 yards? Or is it more like7out of 10 times? |
RE: Maximum Confident Shooting Range???
I hold 5" groups at 60 yards.....I am 100% confident that I can hit the lungs of a deer 9 times out of 10 at 50 yards. It just takes lots of discipline and practice. Lots, and lots of practice.
I've flat missed deer at 20 yards, so I'm not perfect even at close range. |
