shooting distance?

RE: shooting distance?
I think that an actual 30 yard distance is a fine one to set for yourself in a hunting situation. As the others made mention to there are many factors that differentiate a practice situation from a hunting one. Getting as close as you can without being detected is the name of the game. Don't risk anything that you aren't capable of making.

Alot of things can happen within 30yds. even with the fastest bows. I try and keep it to 20, 25yds with 30 being MAX with a deer that is not spooky and very relaxed. I've had too many F@#$#@ up things happen to chance a long shot. Deer can do amazing things when they know something is amiss.

RE: shooting distance?
i have a lil range set up in my backyard... a couple stands as well as a ground blind...i have targets marked from 10yrds to 40yds throughtout the yard but realistically i wouldn't shoot over 30 and that would be pushing it.
