RE: Shot distances
I would say that the average range has been between 14 to 17 yards and I have killed a few out to 30 yards. I could honestly say that I'd pass on a deer at 40 yards. Too many bad things can happen at that range.

RE: Shot distances
Ive got my first deer this year at 15 but willing to shoot at 30 yds. I think that a 30 to a 5 is pretty good, if you feel it then take the shot cuz the strongest is usually your instinct. Go get em at 20 yds.

RE: Shot distances
My three deer this year have been (roughly) 15, 25 and 30+. I practiced religiously this spring and summer and feel very confident in taking a shot out to 35 yards with clear lanes and broadside shot.
I prefer 15-20...but who doesn't....
