2 questions (get your popcorn)

[bayside]

Question #1. What's the farthest shot you've taken and made a clean kill.

Question #2. What's the farthest shot you would take with these conditions; deer is in a clearing feeding, standing broadside, flat shot, no wind.

This should help get through these cold january days.

 

[never_catch]

A #1: 108 yards, porcupine.

A #2: Missed a yote last fall at 165 yards.

[bayside]

Ok, let me specify, big game animal

 

[c3]

#1 - 48 yards
#2 - 50 yards except when it might be a little longer

 

[Dreamin_of_elk]

I shot my bill at 51 yards and probably wouldn't feel comfortable shooting much further out past that

 

[marley]

1# 37 yards on a bull elk

2# 60 yards

 

[RV]

#1. 56 yards blacktail buck

[never_catch]

Geezus bayside why ya gotta confuse me?? }>

Furthest shot on a buck shooting traditionally (no sights, release, ect) was around 45 to 50 yards, he went less than 20 yards and piled up. Only killed 1 deer with sights, that was 82 yards according to the rangefinder.

[Silentstalker]

1. 55 yards on an antelope

2. 60 yards, only in perfect conditions

 

[Elkhunter96]

1. 30 yards
2. 70 yards is my max in the right conditions. If windy, etc., then 50 yards.

 

[legacy]

1 - 35 yards

2 - 60 yards

 

[birdbuster]

To me this post begs the question "At what distances have you made bad hits on animals?"
"At what distances have you missed?" (Missing is better and worse. Better you didn't wound but worse in the fact that you were even more off than you should be.)

 

[Sniper1]

First and only big game animal so far..28 yards.

Im comfortable out to 70. That is with a target at least.

 

[dryflyelk]

40, 70-80.

 

[Buckhunter1]

Watched my buddy the other day zip one at 71yards thru the boiler house! Ive think it was about max for him, and the conditions perfect. BH1

 

[DoeNob]

1 -18 yards - i like to get real close.

2 - 60 yards.

 

[ttj]

51 yards and out to 70. The last bad hit I had was an 18 yard shot. He turned from broadside to quartering in right as I released. Arrow entered the ribs but due to the angle, it burried in his off side hip. Gave him 3 hours and he didn't go more than 100 yards. TJ

 

[zeddro]

#1 88 yards doe tag, straight through the heart. (video, no kill shot,

)

#2 115 yards

 

[RoadlessHunter]

LAST EDITED ON Jan-25-11 AT 07:21PM (MST)[p]#1 65 yard neck shot

#2 250 yards down hill

 

[jodog]

I guess 25 yards is the farthest I've ever shot at a critter the thrill for me is seeing how close I can get. I practice out to 75 yards just incase I had to hit him again.

 

[zekers]

73 yards - buck antelope.
70 yards on a deer in perfect conditions.

 

[Ed]

1. 63 yards on a javelina in 2008

2. 50 yards

 

[BOWCOWBOY]

WELL the longest shot I have taken and made a good clean kill is 78 yds but i have also made a bad shot with a questionable kill at 20 yds ,, with the condiditions you described I myself would feel very comfortable makeing a shot out to 80 yds. I say that because of the way I practice and out west that is how we have to hunt so I practice at 80 even 100yds to hit a pie plate , and when I can hit that pie plate at those distances 3or4 times in a row I feel im good to go.We dont need to bring up the ethical kill argument < we all have a opinion on that one . But as I say since i practice for that at the range in the field (with my 3d targets) and using my bowcoach I am confident in my ability and my equipment that whatever I pull the trigger on will die quick .

[Bman9900]

60

 

[cbryant11]

92 yards on an elk.
120 would be my max

 

[Pimp]

1. 73yds Muley
2. 70yds.... with alot of practice and a new z7 (do those conditions ever really exist)

 

[one_dryboot]

64 yard heart shot, will shoot 70-80. I let a monster bull walk at 90 last year. maybe I should have shot?

 

[ADDICT]

82
100

60 on a bull elk

 

[hornkiller]

Well it started at 50 and then at 70 all i could see was his neck and head with one already in him i let it fly and he went about 20 yards. They dont go far when they have a 2" hole in the wind pipe! This year i will have 120 pin. Hate me i really dont care.

[sageadvice]

#1 20 yds, not the best hit but he died in sight within 75 yds.

#2 30 yds, but i missed a bunch at that or inside that distance.

No sight, no release, no fancy arrow rest. I think even Barta could outshoot me!

[travishunter3006]

18 yards with my rifle

longest shot i'd take would be probably 400 yards.

 

[coyote]
