Your longest honest shot
Lets see what everyone feels is there longest honest maximum shot. The scenario is the buck is standing broadside in a field and you are 15 feet up in the treestand. Remember I said honest.
I'll go first. I use a Mathews Drenalin set at 55lbs. I use a one pin pendulum sight set for 28 yds. My max is 37 yds. I would need to aim for the top of the back and let it drop into the kill zone. |
RE: Your longest honest shot
My longest shot so far has been 27 yards. Made lots of shots in the 15 yard range.

RE: Your longest honest shot
Longest shot I have taken and made a kill is 34 yards. I don't believe I would take that same shot today. I feel increasingly uncomfortable after 30 yards.

RE: Your longest honest shot
I have made most of my bow kills at under 20 yards. But have killed 2 deer at 40+.

RE: Your longest honest shot
i get good penetration out to 45 yards, feel uncomfortable any further

RE: Your longest honest shot
Its bowhunting, shouldn't this be about your closest shot??? I'm just sayin.....:D:D:D

RE: Your longest honest shot
my furthest bow kill was at 31yds. i would feel comfortable shooting a buck standing broadside in a field at 45yds. I shoot a mathews ovation, 31 inch draw length at 70lbs, 100grain broadhead with easton epic 300 carbon arrows. I feel that this set up will produce good enough kinetic energy to kill cleanly at that range.
