112 yds, standing buffalo (I wish, it was a 3D, last year!) Pro-kill/ heart shot. 72# Pronghorn, 65/70 11/32" Boyton Pine arra!

Tried it another 11 times from the same spot, completely missed the bugger, every time!

It'll never happen to me again. That was my one lucky shot of a lifetime!

'bowhunting is not about how far...it's about how close'

I remember this quote because my "effective" range is still under 20 yards, but I'm gettin better.

 

[Old Ways]

I usually don't tell people this because I know it was the wrong thing to do, but since you asked. Whitetail doe, 93 paces uphill (I would estimate it to be about 60-70 yards), lung shot, 70@30.

Let me just say that it was an irresponsible shot and I got lucky. I had stalked that deer for an hour or so and then when I finally got within 20 yards and shot the arrow snagged some tall grass and was sucked down. The deer spooked and ran up the hill and just stood there snorting at me. I was young and cocky and frustrated so I nocked another arrow aimed about 6 feet above it's back and let it fly. When it stuck it in the side I couldn't believe it. Wouldn't dream of a shot like that now. I pass up 30 yards all the time.

[Bowmania]

45 paces, Central Barrenground Caribou, 68 pound longbow, cedar arrow, with 125 gr Ribtek.  Shot was a little low, about 8 inches from the brisket, L&R good.  He took about 20 steps and laid down.

['bowhunting is not about how far...it's about how close']
 I agree!
Mine was 37 yards on a 8 point Whitetail with a Bear Grizzly recurve, 55# @ 28". Now I try to keep my shots 20 yards or less.
