I'm not talking about "yeh, I can put one in him" or "I'm not sure but he's too good to not let one fly". I'm talking about a very high level of confidence that you will drop him without having to track him to the next county. To put it another way, what is the longest range you will shoot without doubt? p.s. please don't lie, not that anyone would lie about hunting or anything, it's just that I'm new to this and I'm trying to learn something. I know that every hunter is different and maximum range with confidence will vary according to ability, I'm just wondering what might be relatively average. I will always push myself to get better, I'm just trying to figure out what might be reasonably attainable. 20 yards. Top pin. I've taken several at longer distances, but that wasn't your question.

Shot another deer with same broad heads it knocked them down also they do some damage. Hunting Is my Obsession, My Passion, My Everything, Oh so is my wife.

I felt great about the shot had plenty of time and it was going right were I put the pin but the deer dropped and spun about 45 degrees away from me during the flight of the arrow. I hit high shoulder at a very narrow angle( if that makes sense haha.) tracked her for about 600 yds as the crow flies and ran outta blood. Longest kill was last year at 43 yds. Quartering away perfect shot deer went 40 yds. This is with a Mathews switchback and slick trick magnum broad heads.

Sharpshooter69 12 point Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 5,018 Mt. Olive	Originally Posted By: Booger Using a compound I shot a young 4 pt at what I estimated to be 50 yds. Double lunged him with a Gator 100. He made it 30yds. Using a recurve I shot a doe at 17yds. I had previosly measured the distance to that shooting lane. She walked 15yds and fell over. Shot with a 125grain Zwickey. Those Gator 100's left a hole like the Rage do ! killed many deer with them suckers. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Missed two nice bucks using pins in two weeks. changed back to my old cross hairs and killed a nice buck later that week. Hunting Is my Obsession, My Passion, My Everything, Oh so is my wife.

I did also hit a 3D turkey in the 10 ring at 83 yards to win a 3D shoot off. It was at the Jay Barrs Archery range in Jacksonville FL in 1992. LOL and yes there was some luck involved.
