What' s Your Range?
 

What is your range when shooting at animals? Mine is about 40 yards max, depended on the conditions, but would rather have the 20-30 yards shot anyday.

RE: What' s Your Range?
 

40 yards would be the max on game. Would have to be an unalrmed animal and no wind though. I am comfortable at 50 but wouldn' t shoot at game that far.

RE: What' s Your Range?
 

I' m confident at anything 20 yards and in. 20-25 yards I' m 95% confident and won' t take anything beyond 25 yards. But for me 0-20 yards covers maybe 90% of my shot opportunities anyways. I can' t always figure it out, but it seems to me that a large percentage of my shots are always about 10-15 yards out anyways, so I concentrate on practicing at 10, 15 and 20 yards. It' s wierd because most of my hunting opportunities always end up being at about 15 yards. Maybe they like how I smell or maybe it' s because I hunt in thick cover and shots over 20 yards aren' t available.

Bottom line, no more than 20 yards because I know my 20 and in shots will be decent hits.

That would be 30 to 35 yards under ideal conditions. Like to take 20 yard or under shots.

30 yards on deer size animal.

I feel confident out to 40 yards, but it would have to be a real nice shot...

RE: What' s Your Range?
 

I would say about 30 yards or so....I always thought I was comfortable out to 40 yards. Recently I drew back on a deer at 40 and let him walk. Just seemed to risky.

RE: What' s Your Range?
 

40 yards max though I' ve never taken one over 30 to this date.

RE: What' s Your Range?
 

10,15,20,25yards. thats it for me.



GO DEEP HUNT HARD.;)






BROWNING THE BEST THERE IS.

recently, I' ve read an aritcle written by one of the 5 top Canadian 3D shooters ?

" ....Many Bowhunters may question “Is it ethical to shoot game at that distance.” If you can group broadhead tipped arrows in a four inch group at fifty yards, you can feel confident in taking shots at Moose, Elk and Deer out to fifty yards. To have the ability to take game successfully at this distance several things must come into play and certain rules must be adhered to.

Here are my rules of engagement:

-The animal must be broadside or quartering slightly away
-There has to be virtually no wind. Wind drift can contribute to being a foot left or right
-The animal must have no knowledge of my whereabouts or better yet be distracted.
-The animal has to be standing still or feeding with its head down."
