46 yards and nailed a 10pt. However that may have been my luckiest moment. Since then I have missed an 8pt at about 20 yards.

I shot two bucks at 42 yards, one at 41 yards. I've only missed one time beyond 35 yards and that miss was because I held low at a nervous 41 yard buck. I hit exactly where I was aiming, right under his brisket/chest behind the leg. I also have take a doe at 41 yards, Rick James was watching over my shoulder. Other than that held low miss, I've never missed an animal beyond 35 yards. I have however missed under 20.[8D]

32 yards. I have had lots of opportunities at slightly more than that which I have passed on. I do serious target competition out to 65 m (~72 yards) but like to get close for the live stuff.

40 yards two times. Got a buck and a doe at this range.

When I was a young lad, I once took a 75 yard shot(estimate). It was the most unethical thing I have done in my hunting career. It was a monster buck and I was hungry for success. The result was lousy but there was a silver lining. I hit the deer perfectly behind shoulder but the arrow must have hit a bone. The arrow did not penetrate. When I found the arrow, there wasn't even blood on the blades on my mechanical head. The good part of the story was the buck survived and I got to watch him for 2 more years until he was hit by a car on the highway. In my more experienced years, I would not shoot over 30 yards.
