I would have to say 50-55 yards. I make 50 yards shots on the 3D course, but have never taken one that far in the field. I just know I have the worse luck in the world, perfect scenario, something will go wrong for me. A touch over 40 yards is my further kill with a bow, it is also the furthest shot I have taken. Most of my kills are between 10 and 15 yards, I like to hunt in the thick stuff.

im comfortable out to around 40-45

I "Might" take a 30yd shot, now.

It was 40 two years ago.

It was probably 35 last year.

It may be 25, next.

All the shots I've taken have been within 40 yards, and would say max would be 45 under "perfect conditions". I passed up a shot opportunity last year at 55 yards, and that was a no brainer. I'd rather move my stand and try for another opportunity than take a shot I'm not confident in.

60 at the very max with perfect conditions... 40 yards raining and windy on the buck of a lifetime

Since Howard took out an elk at 185 yards, I'd say 190 yards at least.

That is me for sure as I get older I am no longer comfortable taking longer shots in fact I passed a shot last year at a 140's buck at 50 yards perfect situation no wind broadside in the field but I just wasnt comfortable taking it.

30 yards and in and its going down. Farthest i have ever taken an animal was 40 yards, right in the boiler room. That being said, other than that doe, the farthest shot i have taken was right around 20. If you put yourself in the right spot and have patience, you typically wont need to take a far shot.

Given everything as described and a deer totally relaxed and unaware....I'm not answerring

35 yards for me.....after that the target seems to get exponentially smaller each yard out.
