Well, I'm primarily a traditional shooter, but since I will be hunting public land this fall, I decided to break out my compound. I've been practicing out to 50 yards, and if I can find a couple more pins, I'll push that out to 60 or My goal is to be able to take a deer at 50 yards this fall.

Good chance they won't still be there on shots much farther. I would go 60 on an elk if I ever get the chance. My plan is 30 yards or less, but if I have an opportunity on a calm deer at 40 or 50 yards, I want to be able to take it. Joined: Jun Wills Point. At 53 yards I shot at a buck two seasons ago.
I spent the summer practicing consistently out to and for kicks occasionally out to I felt good about the shot, the buck was oblivious to my presence before the shot, but when the arrow impacted the buck had dropped and it hit him in the spine. He dropped in his tracks.
I immediately followed up with another shot that obliterated his heart and lungs. Quickest recovery to date. I was lucky it worked out and have a 13 point buck on the wall that wouldn't be there had I passed on the shot The more likely outcome should have been a flesh wound or non vitals hit causing an unrecovered deer. Glad I lucked out once, but I don't think I'll tempt fate like that again.
