20-60 yds. cant shoot past 60 and anything closer than 20 i might as well throw the bow at em. im not sure why but i cant shoot well at close range. always misjudge and shoot high.

50 yards max for me with perfect conditions. 35 if its less than perfect. There's just no reason for me to risk a bad shot. The equipment isn't the issue it's all the freak behind the bow.

When I set up a stand I range a perimeter of about 25 yards. I wait for the deer to walk into that circle and take the shot. If I knew the distance, like if I had time to range the shot I could take a deer out to 50 yards or so if I really wanted to. It would have to be a very calm still deer though and I would have to know the range exactly with my bow.

I feel very comfortable with 30 yards.
