Thanks guys, I been shooting for about 30mins each day and I only try to shoot good arrows.. I am up to shooting at 20 yards.. I don't think I will shoot over 30yards at any game.. I would like to know how far some of you guys are shooting..
Best,
Cody

I'm keeping it 20 and under now. When I put up a stand, I take 10 steps from the tree and put a stick in the ground, another 10 steps and another stick. I don't shoot until they are inside the sticks. I call it the redneck range finder.

I am shooting wensel woodsmans out to 35 yds with great grouping. This is the farthes I would shoot on game unless in a field. I shoot quiet a bit at 40, shoot good groups, but like to keep it closer for good retained energy. My 3 deer last year were 22, 10 and 17yds, and all fell in sight with ww broadheads! Since rehabing from shoulder surgery, I have shot slower, concentrated more on form and follow through, shoot about 60 shots a day instead of 100+ and am back up to #50. I am shooting the best I have ever shot, consistently, in my life. I walked out the other day, first shot at 40, second at 38, 3rd at 35, 30, 25, 22, and 20 for the last one. I could reach around all the shots with my 2 thumbs and forefingers, all with broadheads. This alone is a trophy for me after having extensive shoulder repair, still have a cable in my shoulder and arm bone, not knowing how I would be able to shoot afterwards. I am going to have a good year, no matter the outcome, seein lots of deer, working right by some blinds I made last year on a daily basis, com on Sept. 5th, woo hoo.

Good luck too you Cody! And everyone else for that matter. :D :thumbsup:

I practice a lot at 12 yards(because of a small yard), but also out to 40 at the range(I shoot 20 and under on game).
I have built a couple of ground blinds near a food plot.
Deer season opens on my WM Area on Sept 4th but I'll probably hunt hogs before then.
Good luck!
