What is your max yardage for hunting?

I have shot a few deer slightly past 20 and took my best buck with a bow ever at about 22 . I have took most at 15 and thats where I plan and want them to be  .

No limits at all . If I can hit what I am shooting at I take the shot. Conditions matter a lot more than yardage. A fast bow and a lot of practice makes a lot of difference. I see no reason to set any arbitrary politically correct limit on my individual capability.
If I question my ability to make a clean shot then I don't take it. If I feel confident in my ability to take the shot I do and I have learned after many years of hunting to accept whatever the consequences of that decision is.
I hear a lot about string jumping at further range. My personal observations after 57 years of bowhunting and several hundred kills is exactly the opposite. I have had more animals jump the string at close range than past 20 yards. A lot more in fact. Of course if you limit yourself to taking under 20 yard shots then you could not know that . Grin.

God bless you all, Steve

It varies on the situation for me.  If memory serves my longest kill shot was 37 yards and my shortest was 6 yards for big game.  I let the arrow go when the brain says to.  My best shots are when I have no conscience thought of what I am doing. I shoot out to 50 yards and beyond practicing and have hit gophers at ranges over 60.  My experience on string jumping has been similar to Steves.
