Default How far would you shoot a deer?

whats the furthest shot you would take on a shooter buck, if theres a perfect shot and no branches in the way?
some guys have 70 yard pins, but that seems crasy, whats your max distance?

for me i have .10-20
.30
.40 is my max

Whitetail; 40 yards.

Mule Deer; 60 yards.

I regularly practice out to 60, but since I didn't hunt Mulies this year I only set my pins for 20, 30, and 40 yards.

Longest shot I ever made on a deer was 22yds-I'd probably go out to 25yds.

40 yards max for me also, i have shot further but that was only to put a second arrow in the animal if i had the opportunity. I usually practice out to 50.

I'm comfortable to 40 yards but in my hunting areas there are very few locations that offer that shot. The majority of shots are within 25 yards.
