This past year my comfortable range was 30 and I was confident I could take a shot at 35 if the opportunity presented itself and I felt comfortable in the situation. This offseason I'm gettin comfortalbe at 35 and 40.

I practice at 40 - 50 yards regularly and I can probably go further cause I do have a 60 yard pin. In those conditions no problem at 50 yards and probably 60.

I would be totally comfortable letting one fly @ 50 yards. I'll kill that deer, no question. That's not to say I'll actually shoot, though. I don't really WANT to kill one from that far. Isn't that why we hunt w/ a bow, to get them in close?? Is for me. But.....if it's a good buck out there that I really wanna shoot, and he's straight up 50 yards........Aluminum torpedo out, running hot and normal.

I've bow hunted about 40 years, never taken a shot past 25 yards and 95% were closer than that...

Taking out all the variables other than the bow and myself;). Well, then since my farthest pin is 85 yards (assuming I would keep it on for the hunt, which I really probably would not) and that would be my max distance I can confidently hit the vitals of said deer every time. Also assuming I am 'in the zone' :eek: as I like to be.

I clear my shooting lanes to 30 yards

Not more than 40, and that would have to be the perfect scenario. Open, no wind, relaxed deer, feeling good.
