RE: what's your max range?
I'd say the farthest would be 24 yd. Mypreferred would be 15 yd. Beyond 24, I've got tothink about trajectory too much.

RE: what's your max range?
I shoot at anything that moves, regardless of distance. Ill just pull up the bow and let an arrow fly and hope I hit the animal.........
Now how many of you beileve that?:D With trad gear, 20 yards is my max. Ive never attempted any shot on an animal any further than 20 yards with my trad bows. |
RE: what's your max range?
Right now I am practicing as far as 30 yds. When I hunt this fall I will be limiting myself to 20 yds. and everything will have be perfect for me to shoot that far. I would much rather be in the 10-15 yd. range.

RE: what's your max range?
Depends on the situation and howthings feel. The furthest I've taken an animal was 29 paces. It was one of those moments when everything just felt right, so I took the shot. She never moved a muscle until the arrow wasclean through her. Most days though, it's alittle bit closer mainly because I setupfor the close shot.

burniegoeasily I shoot at anything that moves, regardless of distance. Ill just pull up the bow and let an arrow fly and hope I hit the animal......... Now how many of you believe that? With trad gear, 20 yards is my max. I’ve never attempted any shot on an animal any further than 20 yards with my trad bows. [/align]Two or three years ago I was bowhunting a WMA in VA. I had already called it a day and was riding out in my truck when I saw a guy walking down the dirt road at dusk. He was carrying a recurve bow of all things!;) Seeing another trad hunter I just had to stop and chat with him. After some small talk about bows and arrows he said to me “ yeah, I see plenty of deer on this road at this time of day”. I agreed with him saying that it was all but impossible to stalk close to them because either side of the road was thick briar. That’s when he told me “yeah, if I can see a deer I’ll fling an arrow at it, sometimes I hit them sometimes not. I’ve shot at deer 50, 75, 100 yards away”. He went on to tell some blood trailing stories, but I bid him farewell and left. [:'(] |
