Good shooting!  Would you shoot an elk at 70 yards?

I think it is good to practice out far for two reasons. One is it makes those 30-40 yard shots seem way too easy. Also, if I get an arrow in an animal and he runs a bit and stops at 60 or 70 yards, I would love to be able to try and get another one in him before he gets into the deep, dark, nasty stuff.

In the right conditions.

Ive seen the boy shoot....I'd bet a gentlemans dollar he could make the shot. the force is strong with this one.

I didn't mean that 70 yards was an unethical shot and I was just curious if he would or not.  I also shoot way further than average distances in practice than I would in the woods. 

After a few groups at 60 or more and then stepping in to 35, it's way easier.  I think I would shoot at a broadside elk at 60, not a whitetail though.

For the record, D-Rock you are a much better shot than I

This is about to turn into one of those H2O Hunter / D-Rock threads now.

We held it off as long as we could

Ill take a 60 yard shot on a elk and 70 if its calm and relaxed and know the exact range
