[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1619884, member: 4319"] Take the distance you can consistently put arrows in a kill zone sized target, and shave a bit off of it to take into account the variables shooting at a live animal brings into play. That's how close you want to get to your deer. If you see a deer, you should think "I'm very sure that I can make this shot" before you draw back. If you have serious doubts, the deer is outside your range. Yep, or closer. Most of my bow kills have been withing spitting distance, and most of my gun kills have been within bow range. I like to get close for a variety of reasons. I can hit a kill zone sized target at 35-40 yards consistently with my compound, but I rarely practice that far, and I won't take a shot over ~30 or so in the woods. Ideally I like them 12-20 yards when I send one their way. Don't do that; you will hurt yourself. Just shoot a few arrows every session and call it quits. And make sure your poundage is not too high, and that you're drawing your bow correctly. [/QUOTE]
