    27 yards, but would be comfortable out to 43 in the right circumstance.

    About.....9 yards? LOL I'll probably shoot if everything is perfect to 40 yards with my setup.

    My longest shot on a Whitetail with a bow was 27 yards 30 is my personel limit I am confident out to forty on a target but that is a lot different than a live animal.

    My farhtest was just over the 30 yard mark! I knew exactly couse he came down a trail I knew was marked at 30, when I grunted he took one step off the trail then turned broadside! With my new setup and all the practice with the right conditions I am saying 40 yard is my max, but that will have to be perfect conditions! Hopefully less than 30!

    My longest shot with a coumpound was around 30 yards, which I picked as my limit. Now I have a crossbow, and if I feel I have the confidence to make a little longer shot, I might stretch that out to 35 or 40.
    I will never take a chance on a poor hit on a deer for anything.
