15 yards is what I came up with due to deer movement many many years ago.
Pretty sound logic there. I've noticed the same thing, seems a deer on full alert isn't fast enough to 'jump the string' if he's 15 yards or closer to me.
I can shoot accurately to 35 yards no problem, but in the field there's simply to many things that can go wrong at that range and I don't like to shoot over 25 yards at a relaxed deer, still do prefer them 15 yards or under if possible.
Also, my Browning compound is over 15 yrs old if I reckon. A dinosaur by many's standards 'cept mine. Works just dandy for me.

Laffin here, I feel the same way. I shoot a Jennings Carbonmaster Extreme and a PSE Baby G Force, both 2000/2001? models and frankly, I wouldn't trade either one of them for any brand new bow of any brand/model.
