My stands are set up for 15-20 yards

[aim small...release]

Wow mnbwhtr 51yds thats impressive!!! On a whitetail crazy

[bigbadjon]

I practice out to 50 yrds but I probably would not shoot at a deer further than 30. I feel 20 yards is an ideal distance for a shot at deer. I may take a longer shot if I was hunting larger animals or if the animal is totally calm with no crosswinds.

My furthest whitetail was 43 yards. Being mostly a whitetail still hunter, many shots seem to run 20-40 yards so most of my practice is at these ranges.

12 is perfect for me from a tree. I've shot deer upwards of 22-23 yards with no issue but I don't normally shoot that far. Counting deer I've missed I'd say my average shot is around 10-12 yards.

[kill shot]

20 max

[Sam McMichael]

Out to 20 but prefer about 15.

[Slickhead]

Best is 12 strides or so
I can push 15

[hvyhitter]

over 12yds, out to about 25..............have shot deer at about 10 ft and watched the arrow kick on impact..............

[Lone Ranger]

less than 20, sometimes its not about taking a shot, just being within 2-3 yards of an animal is enough. if I can poke it with the tip of my bow, thats success enough for me. 8-15 yards is ideal in my book.

Only when I shot Field Rounds many yrs ago did I think in terms of yardage.

I never have with any type bow thought in terms of how many yds is he(buck)or whatever I'm shooting at.

When I get a new bow I shoot it and find out how far out it will shoot flat anything that looks farther than, I adjust.

It just goes through my head he looks close or far enough off that I got to hold about right here or there.

Probably if stepped off 30 steps is about as far as I would shoot. Most shots are under 15 steps when I step them off.

[awbowman]

I shoot best between 12-18 yards.  I will shoot to 25 yards or so.  I hate close shots because I hunt out of loc-ons when bowhunting.

[swamper]

Never think to much about distance,it's more about if it feels right I shoot.

[Hummer3T]

I like under twenty, but if things are right may stretch a little.

[toddster]

For me I prefer the animal to be 10 to 15 yards, though comfy with certain shots out to 20.  I suprised myself by harvesting a deer out to 36 yards before.  gotta love instinctive shooting.

My accuracy drops off pretty quick after 25 yards. 10-20 yards is really good. I'm going to shoot at a deer out around 30 yards but would certainly prefer much closer. I try to set up my stand to get a 15 yard shot.
6-8 years ago I was able to shoot pretty good out to 35. I'm not sure why. Maybe better eyes. I practice a lot. Its not that.
I shoot best at deer, at a walking deer, underneath me. Thats the best. It's just automatic then.
I killed a deer at 45 paces with a perfect shot from a tree stand once. He turned to walk away and it just felt perfect. Couldn't do that on a target in 20 shots!
I killed a nice buck in wyoming at 45 yards or so. It's so easy to shoot too far there. That buck jumped my string really bad, my shot appeared to be perfect but the deer turned away and the arrow hit him in the ham going straight away from me. The WW hit the femoral artery and killed him quickly. lucky!

17 yards

[reddogge]

I've noticed mine shrunk from my 20s to 70 years old.

I don't like to know the distance of my shot until after I have taken it.  I have seen alot of game and know if they are in range.  Most importantly, I know what an animal looks like if it is too far off.  I honestly don't know the difference between 17 and 20 or 20 and 23.  If my form is good and my nerves don't get the best of me the arrow generally goes pretty close where I look.  If these things aren't accomplished any range is too far.  I've arrowed a turkey in the neck at 30 yards and missed a doe at 14. Go figure.
