[QUOTE="DONTSTROKEME, post: 133051, member: 6008"] Well it isn't longrange but it is a filled tag. I took up Archery Deer hunting here in the northwest this year. We don't really get long range shots here but the modern season is overrun with hunter orange, 8000 people looking for 16 bucks. I hadn't taken any big game before and wanted to take a deer, and archery is the onle season here that is ANY deer. It also has a great season, all of September and from November 22 to the end of December. I ended up tradeing a 38 Special into a Reflex compound bow (which is a Hoyt that didn't sell the year before) in mid September.

Yesterday I saw a little doe, no spots.....that was my only requierment this late in the season. At about 45 yards I took her through the lung. I was very suprised at how good the broadhead worked.
