[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 255876, member: 11"] I wont pretend to know a darn thing about bowhunting because I don't. So thats why I asked one of my customers why so many bow hunters I know seem to think 40 yards is such a long shot. This customer happened to be on the Browning archery team at one time and appeared on magazine covers from time to time and shot with Ted Nuget as well. He said that longer shots than that were not only achieveable but quite reasonable. He then recounted that in competition they would commonly have to shoot 13 or 14 arrows and hit a 3 inch bull at 100 yards. He said that if you dropped a single shot out of the bull you would be out of the running to win the competition. It then seems reasonable that if a practised archer can hit a 3 inch target at 100 yards with a comp bow they can hit the heart/lung area on a deer at 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
