I may have misunderstood the question but I didn't think he was asking for each person's average shot distance. I thought he meant the overall average shot throughout history for EVERYBODY. And being that this is in the "guns and ammo" forum, I would think that he's talking about shots taken with guns, not bow and arrow, or spears.    But I guess we'll never know because the person who posted the question has not been back to respond to any of the comments.  

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY HAS BEEN THE AVERAGE SHOT DISTANCE TAKEN AT GAME OVER THE YEARS.

[PA BEN]

I'd say under a 100 yds. I killed one out to 325 yds one time with a 308. But the rest, under a 100 yds.

[Intruder]

Big game under 100 yards, small game/birds under 25 yards.

[KimberRich]

I'd say 50-75 yards.  Think of all the animals killed before scopes became so readily available.. My longest on big game is 204 which happens to be my largest Muley and shortest was about 50 with my average right around 120 yards.

[MountainWalk]

Mine, about 75 yards.

[coachcw]

my longest shot on big game is 465 yards normally around 100 yards . closest shot is 2 feet with a bow.

i have to ask... what the hell did u shoot from 2ft with a bow? hopefully not a moose or something

[h2ofowlr]

5 yards to one at 686 yards for deer and elk.  I have shot yotes out to 1000 with a bench rest rifle, but I don't typically take it out into the field.

[GoPlayOutside]

Bow 25yrds
Rifle 100yrds

Longest archey shot was on my bear this year 22 yards. Rifle 200 yards on a deer. I can shoot out to 60 with my bow and 500 with my rifle but i just always seem to get the close shots, which i prefer anyway.

Closest with a rifle is 7 yards on a coyote and 12 on a deer with a bow.

[Kent Hunter]

70 yards

[alanger]

well my first deer i would say 10ft eh moss? 
then 75 this year and 150 in between. idk they are all spread out.

[mossback91]

maybe 20 ft alanger but that might be pushing it

[mossback91]

My only bowkill was 40 yards
