Just trying to help it along to the 10 page mark.

Ohhh and I will add that I wouldn't take a shot out past 30 yards. Too iffy for me with wind and other variables. I'm out to get meat on the table not hurt an animal just because the wind gusted as I released and I'm shooting an arrow 60 yards. Don't get me wrong I'll practice out to 50 yards. But I prefer a nice easy 20 yard kill.

Each shot has its own limit deterimined by the conditions and mood of the animal. It is also determined by the confidence level at a particular moment in time. I have passed on 20 yard shots and have takenXX yard shots with success.

Archery levels are different among readers and the safest bet is always the close shot on a relaxed animal.

To brag about limits only makes those who do not have the skill to make a long shot,try to push the envelope prematurely resulting in the worse, a wounded animal.

Animals are not inanimate objects and can move in a fraction of a second. No matter what your skill level is the worst CAN happen.

Depends on how alert the deer is, wind speed, ground blind or tree stand, all in all I feel comfortable out to 40 yards
