My first Traditional kill!
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?

RE: My first Traditional kill!
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.
