140. What's the yardage for a bow to start worrying about spin drift?

I can play along.
I think if you are good to 140 for deer you might want to do a little elk hunting as well.  They are bigger than deer so you ought to be able to stretch it out to 175 or 180 and still hit one.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

At that yardage, it might bounce off an elk!

My bow would explode if it could put out 360 fps!  As it is, I'd have to aim at about 45 degrees up from the target to get out to 140 yds and my sight ring would be about the length of the bow's lower arm.

 :yeah:  No different than rifle hunters taking 4-5 and 600 yard shots when they only practice at the 100 yard range.

I would like to believe that people have enough ethics or common sense to not just throw lead or flick sticks at outrageous yardages.

I also wouldn't be considering shooting a bow at a 140 yards either.  :tup: But I would say that most of the animals on my wall would say otherwise just sayin.
