Maximum Range?
#11

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.

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.

I "Might" take a 30yd shot, now.
It was 40 two years ago.
It was probably 35 last year.
It may be 25, next.

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.
