buckee Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot I've shot quitea few now at between 7 and 15 yrds. My first bow-buck was at 7 yrds, from 20 ft up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldawg Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot Sitting 6 foot in the air, and the doe came within 3 feet of the tree. I shot her when she walked past. She was about 6 feet from the tree then. I'm surprised she didn't feel a draft when I pulled the bow back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot About 2+ yards from the ground. Deer walked directly on the opposite side of the tree I was standing behind. Shot another at 7 yards. Most of my deer have been taken between 15 and 20 yards, with the longest being 25 yards........ all but 2 were from the ground.

longislandhunter Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot Shot a doe this past season from my tree stand (15 feet up) that was about 6 or 7 yards from the tree. The ground was so soft that after the arrow passed throught the doe it buried itself in the ground so deep I couldn't get it out without digging.

Bow Hunter Derek Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot Probably 5 or 6 yards. Most have been in the 15 to 20 yard range. I think my longest has been around 30 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThethirdI Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot Straight down out of my stand. I practically had to hang by my feet to take the shot. It probably would have made good footage for America's Funniest Home Videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TreeStandBowHunter Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot Bow- I guess about 6 yrds or so out of a stand. Gun-I can't remember really ever having "Close" shots. I guess the closest was probably 25yds...I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted May 8, 2005 Report Share Posted May 8, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot My first buck was at 6 to 7 yards with a bow. I was only 8 feet up on a ladder stand. Since then I've taken several at 10 to 12 yards..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitteken Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 Re: Whats your shortest shot My first bow kill was a 8 ptr at about 5 yards. when i shot i thought i completely missed because he acted like he reacted from the sound. It took about 10 steps and started to feed again. So i was nocking up another arrow, when he stood up on his hind legs and fell over backwards. It was a double lung shot, I don't think he ever felt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
