RE: Your longest honest shot

My longest shot was 45 yards. That was years ago. I was using a High Country bow that had one heck of an overdraw on it, the old carbon arrows with outserts, and Vortex broadheads. That set up was fast, but boy was it unforgiving.

RE: Your longest honest shot

My pronghorn was <15 yards..most likely around 9-10 yards on a stalk.
My doe was right around 20 yards from a treestand.

So 20 has been the farthest thus far, but I wouldn't hesitate at all at 35 yards, 40 with all the right conditions.

35 is about the farthest I can see myself shooting right now, treestand setups where I hunt rarely offer anything farther anyway.
