x2 Most bowhunters will probably never shoot past 50-55yds at a deer - even with the most technologically advanced bows on the market. This still doesn't compare to even Civil War era muzzleloaders that had effective killing rangesupwards of200 yds. (And if you don't believe me on this one, just do a little research )
Hmm...Remember not to ever take cut technology short...While 200 yards may seem like an unbelievable distance at this point for a bow, remember that years ago 250 fps seemed like an unattainable speed for bows....75 years from now, people may be on this site talking about how primitive those old bows were that only shot 320 fps and people never took shots of 100 yards, much less 150 just a thought

Very true, I'll give you that. But since most states currently won't allow for the use of optics or laser sightson hunting bows - a 100 yd shot does seem a bit far fetched. That is until the laser guided, rocket propelled arrow and broadheadcombocome out
