RE: How far is too far?
How far is too far? Beyond you ability to shoot 100% kill shots.
For me I stick to 25 or less, because I can put every arrow in a small group. Also, I don't practice at any farther distance at this point so I haven't even got a pin set up for any farther. |
RE: How far is too far?
My max would be 40 yrds. I feel comforatable with my broadheads shooting at that distance and have become very good at grouping them. I do have a 50 yrd pin set, but thats for fun and tournaments. Never shot a broadhead at that distance and couldn't trust my yardage judgement either to take a shot at a deer.

RE: How far is too far?
Tops for me is 35 and everything must be perfect. Deer not alert, perfect angle, no wind, wide open lane...That said most of my shots are between 5 and 20 yards.

RE: How far is too far?
I haven't reached my max range yet. I'm still working on those 20-30 yard shots.[&:] I have shot a couple at 40 but several dozen at less than 20.

RE: How far is too far?
I've never shot a deer past 30 yards with my bow. That being said....as previously stated by some...if the conditions were good, no wind, animal not alert, animal feeding broadside, etc. I'd be comfortable out to approx 40 yards. But not every time, in every situation.

RE: How far is too far?
Most of the stands i have dont let me shoot past 30 yards max, im very comfortable shooting that far on an animal, i do have two stands set up where the deer are often at around 40 yards. i will shoot out to 40 yards, and have marks for distsances up to 70 yards, but on an animal 45yards is my max, and only if the deer is not alerted at all and gives me a very good boardside or slightly quartering away shot.
It all depends on what your comfortably with. like said before if you have a doubt don't shoot. |
RE: How far is too far?
The longest shot I have made on a deeris 36 yards,in a tree stand that looks far away. I like my shot to be with in 20yards, but if needed I am good to 30.
Does anyonebow huntantelope, and if so how what was your shotest and longest shot? |
RE: How far is too far?
right now 20 maybe 30 i have not got a deer yet and do not want to try past 20 or 30 till i get one closer.
after that properly 40 but i know alot of guys that robin hood there arrows at 60 |
RE: How far is too far?
Last year was my longest shot... 30YDS. All others have been 20YDS or less. Glad he killed it though... He's lucky he didn't just wound it.
