ethical distance

[James Wrenn]

I don't have a clue.Each shot and each person is different.I will shoot at a target as far as my bow is capable of sending an arrow.When hunting I just see what the day holds for me.No numbers set in stone.jmo

Aloha,

I practice a couple times a week and shoot out to 45 yards.--- (FOR FUN) On game my comfort zone is 20 yards or less. That being said, last time I went hunting, Jan. 2, I (MISSED). Shot distance was 15yards, 10yards, and 15 yards. Perfect stalk, perfect set up, and all the time in the world to make the shot. Didn't seal da deal. Couldn't help but shake my head and laugh.

I shoot a lot of IBO & ASA shoots.they are back to 35 to 40 yards..but hunting I like 25 & in.Targets dont look and stomp at you..

got to agree with Terry G.

I practice out to 40 yards daily, and would take a shot at an elk at that distance, and feel confident doing it.  On the other hand, I would not feel confident shooting at a deer ( deer are pretty small down here, thus the difference in size of kill area) past 30 yards.  I wouldn't shoot that far if I could shoot closer though; as many have said, closer is better.
