I shot a doe at 52 yards while sitting on the edge of a bean field. Was able to range her and settle the 50 yard pin nicely.

Closest shot was on a doe from 3 yards.

Longest shot was a doe at 43 yards

Closest kill was about 4 yards from the base of my tree on a 3 pointer my first year bowhunting

Closest non kill was a doe this past season at about 2 yards from the bottom of my tree. Hit her but did not get her.

Shortest shot=around 1-2 yards on 7 pointer. Longest shot=34 yards at another 7 pointer. Shortest miss was about a 6 yard shot on a doe this year. It was one of my best bowhunts to date. She came in with another deer for 5 minutes feeding in and out of a thicket. They were constantly looking around and alert. I had to keep my eyes on both of them. I was on freeze off and on and my shoulders were burning. Finally drew and she walked to 5-6 yards and stopped. I shot right over her back! Dang it!

Sorry shortest miss was point blank. I drew and was nearly trampled by 4x4 (8 pointer) I think I released out of shear amazement and shock. I had a hoof print about 2" to the left of my left foot. What a hunt though[8D]
