Effective (Confident) Range

[Whisky]

Practice out to 60, pretty confident at 40. Conditions depend a lot on what distance is ok, wind and angle of the wind, how big is the target, what position am I shooting from etc.

The same for me....

For me , game shots would be 40-50 and I practice out to 80

[nvarcher]

I'm very confident at 50 yards, but if the conditions were right I would feel good on a 60 yard shot.

I am really confident out to 80 but to take a shot at. an animal that far there would have to be absolutely no wind. I like to practice out to 10080 yards just for fun. It make those 30-50 yard shots really easy.

Holey crap........you must have a BIG backyard if you can practice out to 10080 yards

50 yards for deer and 55 for elk.

I've never bow hunted big game other that whitetails so If i'm hunting with my stick bows, 20 - 22 yards is about it. If I'm using training wheels I'm confident at 40. My longest shot was at a broadside deer feeding at 47 yards, the shot was good and the deer didn't go far but I lost sight of the arrow before it hit and I worried for an hour that I had made a bad shot. I practice at long range and shoot at moving targets with recurves a lot too. When I'm deer hunting i set up in areas that will limit my shooting to ranges inside my comfort zone.

My phone was messing up i meant to put 100 yards.

[nvarcher]

I went out to 100 yards for the first time yesterday. I ended up with a couple 5 " groups!

I watched Wydell make an 82 yd shot on TV last night. He took a 2nd shot, but both arrows hit. It seemed like it took forever for the arrow to get there.
