I'm going to try to get my first traditional kill this fall. I have a spot that a guy wants does taken care of. It should be pretty easy to get within 15 yds. I'm not comfortable much farther that that.

What is your max yardage that you would shoot a deer with trad. equipment?

Just wanted to add that I killed my first deer bare bow compound 17 years ago!

20 yards for me.

20 for me as well. 25ish if the situation is perfect.

I would have to say 18 for me, I wish I could say 20 but I dont shoot it enuf. Small game I would be ok taking a 20-25 yard shoot.

I'm just getting back into it myself...I don't plan on hunting much, and if I do it will only be after I get comfy w/ my shooting again (likely towards the end of the year)....My goal is 15 yards for this season..again *if* I get comfy....I ain't goin out flingin arrows at a deer if I'm not comfy. Next season my goal is 20 yards. Personally, I think that will be my limit due to the nature of trad gear...though I certainly will practice at longer distances.

I'll be doing the same since I didn't get much bow time last year due to buying a home . I'm uncomfortable and inaccurate outside 20 yards , and prefer 10-15 .

AT 6:35am I got my first ever traditional bow kill. A DOE, 15 yards away, Shrew long bow 51#@26", Cedar arrows w/magnus II 125gr 2-blade total weight 550gr.

Was that this morning, Mystic?

Congrats bro! sum good eatin there..specially this time of the year!
