When is it to far??

[Cphil87]

I'm 35-40 max ....

Had a probably a 140" at 57 last year and he just kept walking

[Graysonhogs]

I want em inside 30.

I think you're gonna find a lot of different answers, probably followed by some kind of competition between two or more folks that believe their way is the only way. When it is all said and done, you will see that it all boils down to the comfort level of the shooter.

^^^^^^this

My furthest kill has been at 64. I will take a 60 if given the shot on a stable animal.

[Destry]

I practice to 100 yds but probably wouldn't take a shot over 60 and that would really depend on how calm the animal is

[big_smith]

Hill country whitetail move pretty good. 30 yards was my max and I liked 18-20. New Mexico myle deer I killed at 63 yards stood there and took it. Hogs I flung em if I could see em. I used to shoot kind of regular at long distance. I could put it on a block target at 120 yards. Everyone has to make that decision on their own. I just know a wtd can and do jump the string from time to time.

I like to play around on targets long range but I want inside 30 on an animal.

Log shots for me are when i'm shooting with my brother and we are chatting and drinking a beer.

Anything over the limit you are able to actually hit the animal in a manner that it causes it to bleed to death is probably too far...unless the plan is to wound it so you can stab it with a knife in which case the answer is just PAST the limit where you are able to actually hit the animal in a manner that it causes it to bleed to death but not past the limit where you are able to staple it to the ground..which would be just After limit to bleed to death, and slightly after the limit to wound, and just after shooting a tad too low.
unless you use a rage in which case the answer is 5 feet.

This.....I think

As far as you can effectively range and 12 ring without the aid of a rangefinder.

[Silent-Type]

After 2 days of practice I have determined that my absolute MAXIMUM distance is 90 yards.

It doesn't really mean how far you should shoot them it's how close you can get them!

its about how close you can get, and still make the shot

These are the answers I was looking for!!!
My best to date is 7 yards. Thru the heart. Looked like I had shot it with a rifle!!!
On average, my shots are anywhere from 15 to 18 yards, short and sweet!!!
The longest shot I ever attempted on a deer was 27 yds. Big 9 point and he ducked my arrow!!
Longest kill shot on a 4 legged animal was 32 yds.
About 97% of every thing I've shot, has been under 20 yds. I guess I got that special ninja skill of getting close!!!

Lean your deer target up against your wifes car.

The distance you are willing to shoot at that traget is the distance you should be willing to shoot at a deer

41 yards was too far

[d_e_smith]

And that's why quartering to shots are low percentage shots.
