There are a lot of people who could make a 48 yard shot nearly every time. There are many more who can't but would try it anyway because they shot a good group at 50 yards once.

RE: Which Shot to Take
Repeat after me folks....Arrows do not fly strait through brush. If you find an opening that is another matter
.
do some testing with BH through different kinds of brush trying to hit a target and you will understand better.
Niether. I will not take a shot that far at an unwounded deer. Not saying others shouldnt. Some guys have confidence at that range. I can hit where I want but I simply do not have the confidence that the deer will not move during the shot...or something else may go wrong...andI do not shoot ifI do not have confidence.

RE: Which Shot to Take
For me it would be niether.
First off unless there is an opening threw all that stuff that i know i could make aleathel shot? Iwould simply pass.
I would rather see him walk awayand try to get him another day[&:].
About the 48yrd shot not for me! I have taken a few deer with long shots but i have also lost a deer or twofor that same reason.
I have learned not to take shots out my effective range even though i practice long shots don`t mean i will take on on an live animal.
Other hunters may be better shot`s than me at long distance`s but i think each hunter needs to know there limitations and not ever compriomize them no matter what size game there hunting.

I guess for me this would highly depend on how close he was to the brush, if the brush was at 17 yards and he was at 20 yards i wouldnt take the shot, because of to much chance of the arrow being deflected but if he was right on the other side of it theres a good chance id take it.

Don't forget about those of us who could easily make a 48 yard shot, but refuse to shoot at game that far away. That's just not what bowhunting is about, not for me anyway. If I can't get within 30 yards, I haven't earned the right to draw my bow.
