Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game What are your thoughts on a 95 yard shot with a bow?

If your needing to take 95 yrd shots with a bow to harvest game, and that's what's important to you, then I suggest you move on to muzzle loading rifles.

Consequently if your into taking 600+ yard shots on game with a rifle, and that's as close as your skills are capable of getting you, then I suggest you take up knitting. Just my opinion.

A co-worker shot a P&Y class pronghorn last year (17"+) at a range he claims of "around" 110 yards.

He also stuck two black bear last year at considerably closer range and didn't recover either one.

The kid spends a lot of time in the field, and is a very knowledgable hunter, but I consider that pretty irresponsible shooting. That kind of stuff seems to be the norm for a LOT of bowhunters I know, sadly enough.

That tells you everything you need to know. No one with an ounce of responsibility guestimates ranges like that when bow hunting.
