This thread seems to pop up every year.... Get ready for some entertainment!
38 is my longest successful shot. It was a doe and she went down in 30 yards. I attempted a 42 yard shot one time and missed clean.... biggest buck I have ever seen.
Most deer I have shot were between 15-25 yards (I'd say 30 or so.) A few i have shot closer than 15, but didn't like those any more than the ones over 30. I like a 20 yard shot...

I see most of you are about like me somewhere between 20-30 yds. typically, I did miss a doe @ 9 yds. I really admire those who are confident enough to have kills longer than 40 yds. I know the longer shots are condidered unethical by some, but if you can drop em at 50 or 60 yrds. I say go ahead!

Ive shot a few hogs out to 50+ yards with compounds. My longest pin is a 50 yrd pin. On my longest shots, I have aimed high so I can only assume between 50-60 yrds.
As for a longbow or recurve, its in the 25yrd and below range . I will not shot a long bow or recurve beyond that distance, but have made many kills out to that range.
