I killed one at 45 yards back in my youth with a 45# round wheel bow. I don't why that deer didn't just step out of the way.....It took quite a while for the arrow to get there.
Since then, I limit my shots to 30 yards and under. Every deer I have ever shot at within that range, I have killed, tagged and eaten.
I've left a lot walk over the years, but I'm okay with that.
It gets easier to let game walk when you age. 40 to 45 yds for me in ideal conditions. 25 yds with long bow. Pass on 10 to 15 yd shot if angle too steep from tree stand.
I shoot at 100 yards and can really see how good your form and follow through is.
