On deer... my longest shot was 18 yards... my shortest kill was 18 yards... Did I mention I'm still looking for number two!  

I did drill a bullfrog at 25 yards across the pond one day!  I was pretty proud of that one!

My only kill shot was at about 12 yards this year.  I have taken a shot out to 25 on a nice big doe. Missed her but did kill the sapling right in front of her.

I've killed a few deer on shots well over 30 yards but I don't attempt it anymore.  The first was my first deer with a recurve.  I missed him at like 12 yards.  He ran out to 35 or so and I shot him.  Liver hit, and he didn't go far.  Looking back on that, man was I arrogant.  I missed him at close range and then had the audacity to shoot a hail marry shot at a much longer range?
    In Namibia I killed a kudu at 35 yards, but kudu have huge vitals.  Wasn't really that hard of a shot.  But I also killed a warthog at 32 yards.  Warthogs have small vitals.  I think that shot at the warthog was the last big game animal I have shot at over 25 yards.
