This year I will be shooting fawns at 80+ yards.
Lightweights, I plan on using the force. Blindfolded. Just feel the deer luke.
Mark, May the Force be with You!!

I like neck meat. I will be making only head shots. After I align the two feathers with the edges of my BH the arrows will fly like lasers.

It's a Good thing you are aligning things up otherwise you'd never hit one!![8D]

Better put an overdraw on and cut your arrows super short to gain that speed! Doesn't matter about spine as long as they are plenty Stiff!!

Maybe then you can shoot one pin out to 80 yards or just set your pin on 80 and wait til they get that far away

I may try the New Dukeboy Broadheads this year!! I hear all you have to do is get close[:-]

As an aside I love your quote Austin:
"Respect is more than knowing where the deer's brains, guts, and heart are. It's acknowledging the fact he possess all three"

I agree that is an awesome quote...

i hit a buttonbuck last year in the neck at 33 yards, this year i will be confident to 45
Blew the 33 yd shot and you plan to shoot 12 yds further this year?

I am more impressed with threads about the closest shot taken.
I was aiming for the neck because i wanted a quick kill, and i have a new bow this year and i have worked on my shooting much more than i did last year. Last year i was only confident to 30.
