Tominator Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 I don't know. What's Bruno up to this year Tom? 30 yards? Probably around 30-35 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m gardner Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 When I was young and testosterone ridden and lived with a bow in my hand I shot a doe at 86 paces. I had shot marmots all summer in the same spot so I knew the yardage and took a foolish chance. It was an old Ben Pearson recurve with #10 fiberglass arrows and Pearson Deadheads. I' shot two other deer at long range with compound bows and aluminum arrows at 60 and 65 yards but in 43 years that's it. Most have been under 20. I shot this mulie last year at 40. I sneaked to within 25 yards and he bolted but stopped so I shot him.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 35 yrds, nice 8 pointer. Lots of practice works. But you have to look for branches as much as focus on the spot. Missed my first shot last year because low light, 20 yds and a thin branch in the wrong spot. Flew high over the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I've taken a whitetail out to about 23 to 25 yards. However, I've practiced out to 80 yards several times. - Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
