I'll stick to under 30,preferably 20

i dont like to shoot a deer over 30 yards out. the farthest deer i have shot at is probably 40-45 yards

30 yards is my limit....i prefer to let them walk to under 20 if i can

Same here, pins are 20, 30, 40 I'd take a shot on a calm deer out to 40yds with confidence, 50 is about max for me, I wouldn't go an inch past 60yds for any reason. I don't think I would shoot past 30yds at a turkey.

I will shoot as far as my ability and equipment and environmental conditionswill allow me. Right now my equipment is up to a 60+ yard shot but I am not. I haven't been practicing enough to feel confident at that distance right now.

I agree that archery is about getting close but to a point. I, as well as most people here,shoot a high tech compound bow that is perfectly capable of delivering an arrow with plenty enough energy and momentumto distances a lot farther thanI will ever be able to shoot. I understand and agree with thethought ofletting the animal getas close as possible and if they are comingI will let them come.

Having said that, I don't understand the point of hunting with a cutting edge compound bow with all the bells and whistles, laser range finder, all the latest in silencing equipment,etc...etc... and refusing to take a shot past 25 yardsif the bow and your personal ability are more than up to the task.If I wanted to only shoot at 25 yards and under I would take up traditional archery.

If I could shoot like this, 100+ jus kiddin

My longest kill was under 40 yards but look at this site where they talk about kills well over 60 yards. Those guys must be better than I am.
