Congrats MG!

Back to the original question, I don't have a set limit. I don't start my season by thinking "ok, if a deer comes within x yards of me, I'll shoot, or if it's farther than that, I'll pass". Of course we should stay within our limits, but (for me at least) that can change on a given day. Some days I may not feel good about a shot at 10 yds, another day 25 may be just fine. I'm not going to take a 60 yd shot, but I couldn't say that 30 yds would be out of bounds if everything was right.

Bows--traditional or otherwise--are limited by the person behind them. Many of the old icons made amazing long-distance kills on game. On the video "The Legendary Hunts of Ben Pearson" Ben killed a javalina that was waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy off. The narrator give the distance in city blocks (I forget how many), and in an article I read about that same hunt several years ago they gave the distance as well over 100 yds.

I'm not advocating taking 100 yds shots with any bow--what I'm saying is the bow will do it's part if you can do yours.

In all honesty, it's not likely I'll be taking over a 15-20 yd shot this season, because most of the places I hunt are too trashy to allow a clear shot any further--I'll be lucky to get that much in some places. I'll still practice longer shots though, just in case. Practicing at longer distances makes the closer shots easier anyway.

I've been walking around the yard the last couple of days with a judo point, and havebeen shooting at different things around the yard (Leaves, sticks Ect........) I'm usually real close. It's pretty cool when you pick a leave out at 20 yards and smoke it with a recurve!!!!!!
