fly Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 So far this year my 3 pins are 10,20,&30. I shoot from the top of my roof about 20-25 feet high. I just started shooting last week. The farmer behind me has beans right up to my backyard fence and since my yard is small I can only practice out to 30 yards. Right now my grouping at 30 yards isn't as good as I'd like. I prefer consistent grapefruit size groupings before I move further back. Once I get 30 yards down, I may practice elsewhere and try getting consistent at 40 yards.

turningcustomcalls Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'm shooting the bear trx and i have pins set at 20,30,40. I had a 10 and took it out. I believe less is more. I may even take out the 40 yard pin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 im set up for 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. with broadheads i can shoot 5 inch groups consistantly out to 60 yards. but i wont shoot past 40 unless i have an arrow in the deer and he offers me another shot at a longer range.

Leo Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 im set up for 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60. with broadheads i can shoot 5 inch groups consistantly out to 60 yards. but i wont shoot past 40 unless i have an arrow in the deer and he offers me another shot at a longer range. Tony I have the same feelings about the subject. Shooting past 40 is essentially reserved for clean up and secondary shots. I would shoot out to 50 on animals with big vitals (ie. elk size) but I'm not comfortable with shooting any further. I personally know a guy that has taken quite a few animals beyond the 60 mark. He is an outstanding shot. He's also a pro-staffer for one of the big archery companies. It can be done with consistency and ethically. BUT! Just because you can shoot a target at some amazing distance doesn't mean you're ready to launch an arrow at game at said distance. I believe most peoples maximum hunting comfort range is about half of their maximum target range. For me that's right at 25 yards. I will shoot further if the conditions and shot that presents itself feels really right. At 25yds I go into automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randyman Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 25 yards. One pin for 15 and 1 for 25 yards. I do most of my hunting on the ground, so that is my limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbaker Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 30 yds. I have set pins for 40-50 but hunting is always 30 and under. I only shoot 30 and under because I have lighten my arrows to gain more speed,I went with a light weight carbon fiber arrow and 75 gr. broadheads.

HOYTnMUZZYboy Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 My furthest pin is set for 50. I can hit a milk jug at 50 yards consistantly but wont shoot a deer over 35 yards unless its standing in a field where its wide open.

hutchies Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 60.....................I'm like Tony though. I don't like shots past 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Like others I don't like shots on whitetail past 40 but I will take a follow up shot on a deer I've already hit out to 50 given the chance. The closer, the better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
