Thats what great about bowhunting. Getting close to your game. What a thrill!!

For those that shoot at Whitetails over 40 yards, I'm curious to how many you have missed or lost?

I lost one from jumping the string.
Actually I had one flat duck a arrow at 29 yards.
Couldn't believe it and even put the video on here

I had a sika completely duck an Fmj out of my 60lb matrix a few years ago at 23 yards. I hail mary'd one at an axis doe at 39 and she was 10ft from where she was when I squeezed the trigger when the arrow got there.

My feeder is 18 yards, I dont shoot over about 25, just my preference.

[WCB]

My average is probably 17/18 yds. Hope to add to the average tomorrow morning...

[HandiKap Bowhunter]

The last 6 yrs never shot a deer past 18 yds. Had 3 that ifbid have had a hammer when they stuck their nose in the popup and smelled the camera I could have whacked them. Pigs I fling carbon out to 40 on. I know I can make that shot with no problem but not taking that chance on a deer with their reaction time out that far.

[Hogman7290]

40 max for me

[Cam-Mac]

25-30 max for me.

[Rudyl]

I've taken shots between 15-49 yards. I usually set up my pop-ups at about 23 yards.

[Jason Fry]

My closest was about 12 yards, farthest was 30. I'd say average 18 to 20.

[lglidewell]

The closest last yr for me was 11 yards, furthest was 75. She bolted when the arrow was in mid flight missing her by a mile.

I remember that big ol' doe!

My avg last yr was around 20yds. Shortest - 6yds, longest- 53 on a coyote.

[NVR2LATE]

I believe if you do some looking the average deer taken with a bow is less then 20 yards. All my stands are at 18. I have shot deer anywhere from about 6 ft to 40 yards. I like to try to stay in that 20 yards or less.

Even most hunting shows are in that 20 yard mark

6'.....that's impressive.

[TheCracker]

my average would be 15-20 yards for deer. Never shot a deer past 25. If the conditions were perfect and a non alert deer I would shoot maybe 50 but I just dont think its the best idea for deer. A lot can happen and they can jump the string. On hogs, who cares Ill shoot them at 60. The farthest was 55 yards. I just hate to gut shoot a deer and waste it!
