[quote="Big John"]Tom,

Remember this was a question on distance shots, not on ethic code. I've seen your bow, I think I can run faster than it. :lol:
This is one reason why people wont answer these questions truthfully. And why I mostly stay out.

Seriously though, lets keep this thread happy and on question. Not ethics.
That's a different topic. :wink:

Big John[/quote Thanks John, Did not mean to step on any toes... Ethics ? I would hope we all have some.. But this thread was for fun....

Nothing wrong with your thread at all ! 8)
Your not steppin on any toes around here!
Was directed at the other member just to keep it "fun" on the thread and away from any ethics posts on shooting long distance.
Thanks for the thread. :)

Longest bow kill was 27 yards with the Exomag.

Most of em have been under 20 yards.

Have shot deer out to 125 yards with a slug gun and muzzleloader, but wouldn't go much farther with that. The crosshairs wiggle too much.
Don't look at the antlers!! And don't look him in the eye!!

Very interesting shots taken... Most of you guys have taken some fantastic shots in my opinion. 400 hundred yards is nuts... But all of my hunting has always been in the thick woods, at least most of it. About 20 years ago i bought me the rifle of my dreams, the finest shooting fire arm i've ever had, And also my opinion.... The finest i've ever seen, the Browning single shot Hi wall 1885, in 7 mm, rem, mag. With a big dollar leupold siting on top. Any way.... My son got us an invite to a private friends farm in central mississippi this coming season, and there is a couple fields with 400 plus yards.... Smile.... So at long last an item thats always been on my bucket list, will come true this year... Hope i have not bored ya'll .... just my fingers flying away.......

My longest was about 70 yards with my compound bow (Bowtech Swat) dropping a deer, I've yet to kill anything with my Micro but the way it shoots with the bolts dropping so fast and impact penetration I don't plan to shoot at anything beyond 40 yards.

My Matrix 380 was a ranged 50 yards exactly in my food plot. At the same food plot i killed a big doe at a ranged 62 yards with my compound bow that I had which was a Mathews Drenlin. With a rifle I killed a 7 pt buck in my 6 acre bottom at a ranged 326 yards with a 7mm mag off my front porch with bipod and sandbags.
