I practice 70 yard shots regularly and feel confident hitting an animal at that distance. my farthest confirmed kill is 61 yards with my alphamax I just sold. 400 grain arrow and a 100 grain rage 2 blade. complete pass through and it stuck in the ground on the other side. I will say that is the only animal I've shot at over 40 yards

I will practice up to 100 yds. I will very seldom shoot at a deer over 40 yds. It's not a question of wether I can hit it or not it's to many variables to make an ethical shot

I practice out to 40 occassionally. 99% of my practice time is spent at 15-20yds. My farthest kill last season was 25yds. My longest with the longbow.

when I shot a compound a lot I practiced at 50 yards 75% of the time, the rest at various yardages.

I have killed one buck at 49 yards, couple more at 35 yards, a couple at 25 yards and all rest under 20 yards. I like em at 10-12 yards myself.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

I practice at 60. 40 is max rang to shot when hunting. Best way I found to find max hunt rang is shoot 10 arrows in to a pie plate at 10 yards. Than ten at 20 yard. keep moving back ten yards at a time, when you can not put ten arrows in the the plate you have your max range.


For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Lot of people can shoot good enough to do that way out. At some point it becomes a game of weighing the variables between pulling the trigger and the arrow getting there

Like Fred, although I mostly prefer them inside of 20, I've killed several between 30-40, and my farthest at 42, BUT that 42 yard deer changed the way I think about shooting southern whitetails. I released my arrow on a broadside doe at 42 yards, not alert. She decided to take a step forward at the precise moment I released. I drove it through her hindquarters. She only went 25 yards and died, but I did not hit her where I wanted. 40 yards is a long way with a stick.

Practice to 50, will shoot occasionally 60,70 just to know where I need to hold. Would shoot a deer at 50, but the farthest I've ever shot is 43.

I practice out to 55 yards but wouldn't shoot past 45 at a deer.
