Whats your comfort Zone.
 
I was wondering when that big buck walks in and you have your bow in hand. How close do you want him before you shoot. I heard some guys say less that 30 yards and some say less than 70 yards. I wanted to see what you zone was. Mine is less than 40 yards.

less than 30 yds for me,
yes i can get good groupings at 50 yds,
but wouldnt risk it on a live target,

Mine at this stage of the game is 40 yards. It used to farther when the eyes were better ;)

There are times when a 20 yard shot is a No go! and there are times when a 40 yard shot is a slam dunk!

The most important thing is to learn the difference ;)

yea i mean ive seen guys on hunting shows shoot at like 70 yards thats crazy i think. to much room for mistakes there

Preferably 12 yards. Other then that 20 yards and under.

Depends on area I am hunting, but usually 30 yards and in.

out to 40 but most of my shots are at 20-25

BigDaddy12t 02-04-2011 03:07 PM

25 yards or closer for me.

No choice.....
 
I'm so thick, I couldn't get a shot out farther than 25-30 yards due to the thickness of veg surrounding me. I choose these spots (or they choose me), after scouting. Thats where they're at (bucks).

My sweet spot is 25 yards or less. I did mess up on a shot this year on a nine point at 25 yards. This was him at that moment. Its hard to see all nine but they are there.
