how far could you shoot...
« on: June 13, 2013, 11:11:00 PM »
I am curious how far the average trag ganger can shoot.

So if i set up a 12 inch target and gave you 10 arrows, how far away could you hit the target 5 times?

60/70 yards
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

25-30 yards on average, and could probably do better than 50%. I shoot out to 40 a lot.

I practice at 20 and in so for hunting purposes 20 yards.  Although at an elk camp one day we were practicing and as things go we got a bit competitive.  I was the only one without a compound and the only one to hit the pie plate at 70 yards.  Probably pure luck but it was fun... Could not go any further since my arrows would have been hitting overhead limbs  :)

At paper, I'd say about 50 yards (50%) but that's not good enough for me in the hunting world.

I like to set up where my platform is about 16' high and my shots are 12-18 yards.  I'd shoot 25 yards at a calm deer no problem.

as far as the bow will send the arrow.  I do that all the time.  When I am feeling cocky, I add in little things like bouncing the arrow off a tree, or a board.  I like trying to shoot between trees and branches that are way out there too.  Lotsa fun.  

Now. . .  the hitting what I am aiming at part ?  Hmmm . .  no comment.

Pretty sure it would be around 30 yards.
