max range determination should START at the practice range..ALL yer shots in a 6" circle every time....thats the lonhest YOU should ever attempt a shot UNDER PERFECT CONDITIONS. Which don't exist very often in the deer woods....  deer jump the string, take a step, turn, the wind blows...or stops, limbs get in the way, you flinch, blink, fart, sneeze, just at release  YOU have to determine if a presented shot is good for you at that moment. "Usually" I like a stickbow shot inside 10 yards, inside 15 yards for sure. 20 is getting long for me "most" days. I have cleanly killed deer out to 32 yards when conditions were perfect and the "green light" went off...... With a compound(Hoyt@250fps) I like em inside 25 yards, 15-18 is near perfect. 30+ is long IN THE WOODS but I have killed em at 35-40 yards. I once killed a BIG buck at 49 yards after crawling that close to him BEDDED WITH A HOT DOE....he wasn't going to move at all. Rangefinder and LOTS of practice at 50 yards. First shot took him a little high, he stood and second arrow hit within 2" of the first, dead right there. I really like 9 yards a lot though.... troy

I'm kidding... ususally someone on here has already mentioned a head shot on a question like this.
For me - I wouldn't shoot beyond 30 yards, and I sure wouldn't try a head shot.

I have never launched an arrow at anything more than that, and my preferable range is within 25. Learn to get closer to the deer, not stretch your effective range. Those critters can do one out of hundreds of things while that arrow is in flight that will result in wounded or missed animals. :goodpost:

When you are young, invincible, and have the self proclaimed mad archery skills of Robin Hood ...you will take shots that years later you will look back on and say to yourself, "man, that was dumb!" If that moment of truth suddenly happens where that huge buck steps out in an opening, looking bigger than life and you are all hyped up on Mountain Dew, your bladder bulging and legs crossed, while fighting to keep your heart from pounding out of your chest...you are going to sling that arrow without giving the distance a second thought. Experience is a great teacher. 35 yds or closer!

I've shot targets at my range at 50 yards with accuracy. That being said, I can't think of any place in the woods where you would have a 50 yard shot. Probably would be hard to find a good 35 yard shot in the woods. My "comfortable" range is 0-15 yards, but I can easily make a 35 yard shot if the situation allows for it.
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

Just put your corn pile 18 yards from your tree and you're good. Seriously, it's funny how having them right up on you creates just as many challenges as having them on the edge of your range. I hate a real close shot because you start losing the double lung when they're right under you. 15-20 is my goal.

30 yards is my max. After 35 years, and lots of stupid shots, won't hardly take a shot unless it's quarteing away.

I don't understand the "quartering away only"....... I've shot dozens of deer dead broadside, never lost one that was hit tight to the shoulder. You actually have a better chance of a passthru with a broadside shot, a lot of the time on quartering shots you hit the opposite shoulder...stopping the arrow. troy
