ive taken alot of heat on other bow forums for asking this question. seems like other forums are overun by eastern hunters, but here goes. i have been talking to folks at the archery shops in and around albuquerque and sportsmans warehouse and found that alot of deer have been taken with a bow at long range, anywhere from 80 to 110 yards. eastern hunters that hunt out of tree stands above there feeders have a hard time with this topic. i am new to bow hunting so i would like your opinions on this. do you think this is acceptable or ethical. with todays speedbows it seems to me that it is more than just doable. here in new mexico there isnt a whole lot of cover.my hunt a couple weeks ago i got on between 25 and 30 big bucks all between 25"-30" wide but busted every time by a doe i hadnt seen. closest i got was 100 yards on about a dozen and a half times. rutting and too many eyes ears and noses. i did not take the shots cuz i didnt practice at these ranges but inside 60 yards there in trouble. what is the longest shot you would take at a big buck standing broadside not knowing you were there in wide open country.
