If a totally unsuspecting, calm relaxed deer with no wind and looking away from me I would say 50 yards. On a pig I might stretch it to 75 yards when I practice at that distance and they need to be reduced on my lease
My son is practicing out there at 50-60 yds. getting comfortable.
As I watch him, he's taking a few farther out, to get acclimated.
He's a big fan, as I am, not to take a bad shot, and he's taken it to several levels, with his practical scientific approach, knowing his equipment, and looking at ballistics of his Arrows!
He Can tell me how much arc his Arrow will have at a certain distance, so he knows if he'll hit a branch or not!
Heck, we just guessed if we could make the shot or not back in the Day!
Computers, and all the available tools are there if we want to use them!
