    33 yards, zipped him right through the boiler room. He never knew what hit him. He ran 40 yards and stopped then looked back, took two steps and down he went.

    Tominator you got me pegged!!!! That's a great feeling......and i followed every drop!!! Not to mention that was my first bow kill. That was a super ending to a already very memorable hunt. lol I was so nervous on that deer that the first time i tried to pull my bow back i couldn't!!! Had to shoot him sitting down cause my knees were shakin' so bad......gracious look you got me goin' just thinkin' about it..........come on OCT. 1st

    All the deer I've shot have been within 30 yards.....but I did tag last years Antelope at 40............

    I shoot lots of 3D tourneys, and practice consistently out to 80 yards.......so I feel quite confident out to 40....but let the record show that i would much rather have all of my quary broadside at 20.... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
