Depends on conditions and species for me.

My longest shot has been 43.....like mentioned....depends on animal and conditions. I'm setting pins on the new bow from 20 to 60....

Nah....hope not at least. From the sounds of it the OP knows his abilities and range and sticks to it. This thread does not have to be about the ethics of shot distance unless folks make it that way.

Folks will make it that way.

60 yards for me

Holg3107 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 04, 2013, 11:09:12 AM »

I have pins to 70 but have a 50 yard limit when hunting. Longest shot on an animal was a hog in Texas at 45yards.

My hunting bow has pins out to 80 longest shot on a deer was 75 yds

I practice regularly at 40, 50 and 60. But, that is to make sure my 20 to 30 yards kill shots are just a chip shot. Never killed an animal at more than 40 yards. In fact, only two animals were at approx 40 yards when killed (one deer and one elk). Been archery hunting now for over 33 years and most of my kill shots are between 20 to 30 yards.

I practice up to 70 but come season 50 is my max, trying to feel comfortable to 60 with the new Hoyt but it all comes down to conditions.

I've been shooting 5 days a week for the last 2 months and am real confident out to 70 yards. Of course though it always depends on the scenario.
