My max is... my max. There are too many variables to say a specific yardage. Wind, terrain, animal behavior, animal size (elk vs deer), all come into play. Each person also has a different amount of risk or wounding an animal that they are willing to take. Apparently b-hole is willing to wound animals quite frequently. Someone else may only want to take shots that they will make 99 times out of 100.

I'm accurate to 50-60+ yards to a target on a still day. But for hunting, on a normal day I doubt I'm gonna go over about 30 yards. Here in Michigan, there will usually be a lot of brush in the way if you go too long. Also the longer the arrow takes to get there, the more chance for the animal to move and leave you witha bad shot.
Critter doesn't have to move too awful much to turn a killing shot into a wound on an animal you can't find.

I could shoot out to forty if conditions were right. B hole I am not going to bash you, but you should think about taking an 85 yd shot at a live animal, not a very responsible thing to do.
