Farthest shot with a bow
My farthest shot with a bow was this year. A big doe at 53 yards with gold tips, spitfire Xp's and a Nikon Range Finder...and luma knocks...the arrow flew threw the air like a signal flare...and when the deer took off it looked like a dune buggy flag going acrossed the field.!!......The doe went 70 yards and the arrow never went completely through....the range finder+ shooting at 50 yards this summer was the key for me.
Wait!..I just reflected back to 1991 when I shot a rabbit at 90 yards with no sights and a razorback broadhead....we'll call that total luck...But I guess it was tossing arrows as a teenager that brought me to where I am today....And Iam notperfect that's for sure.....

RE: Farthest shot with a bow
I have pins to 60 yards. I would take that shot under perfect conditions. My longest shot was a little over 30. I took a couple long shots when I was younger but that was foolishness and I didnt even come close.

About 20 yds - I've always known my limits, with the equipment I have had. I have a new bow this year and may choose to expand this range now - but I've always thought "closer was better"
