Long Range Shot With a Selfbow

(1/5) > >>

Carl Galvin:
I was wondering wha you all feel is your longest shot you feel comfortable with for hunting deer with a longbow.

osage outlaw:
I have set a personal limit at 15 yards. 

Pat B:
Maybe 20 yards but I prefer 12 to 15 yards.

Carl Galvin:
 And the close range game, and having to do good scouting to get that close, is what it's all about. Much more exciting than taking a deer ar 100 yards with a rifle.

mullet:
15-16 yards. We did an experiment one day at the club I shoot with. Everyone got to shoot at the 3-D targets from where they felt comfortable. Then the spot was measured with a range finder. Most with selfbows were in the 15-20 yd range and Glass bows averaged around 20 yds.
