Shaun_300 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Re: How far will you shoot at a deer? 20-25 yards with a compound, 40 yards with a crossbow. All the stands that I hunt are within 20 yards of the runway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEIOWAARCHER Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Re: How far will you shoot at a deer? I won't take a shot over 40, and even then I have to feel real comfortable. I do however practice out to 60+. I feel it makes the shorter shots more comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Man you could almost throw the arrow at the deer when they are that close [/ QUOTE ] That's what made the shot so special. Bow shooting skills are great at the target range, but I put my emphasis on the hunting skills when it comes to hunting. I get a lot more feeling of accomplishment when I can arrange shots at "touching range" than I do with situations where I have to rely on engineers and product designers for my success. For me, that's kind of the lure of bowhunting. It takes more of the weapon out of the equation and puts the results squarely on my personal abilities. I guess that's why I look at my bow harvests with a whole lot more fondness than my shotgun harvests. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
