I'd say around 25 yards.

Often enough. Last year, I had the biggest deer I have ever seen in the woods (roughly 160 class) walk by at 30-35 yards. I then had him in the wide open broadside working a scrape at 40 yards. [:@]

He was walking directly at my partner though, unfortunately, he crossed just the other side of the ridge, and my friend heard him, but didn't see him.

After my shooting yesterday.....I'm humbled.....lol.

Seriously....I was shooting 3D yesterday....to 30yds. I whiffed on 4 targets (out of 30)....but had never really practiced from those distances (I went there FULLY expecting to shoot max. 20 yds).

I think, come fall.......I'll shoot to 15yds in a perfect scenario.
