[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1262560, member: 4566"] Funny stuff. I had to keep a log book when I shot control. That got me in the habit and so I have data from about 18 yrs of control, guiding and hunting with friends and family. I hunt on the plains and gear everything towards LR. Including 24 deer shot with bows, 32 with muzzleloaders and 11 with pistols, our AVERAGE shot distance was 574 yds. The last three yrs with 3 bow and 1 pistol the average was 743 yds. Hard for us to imagine hunting in heavy cover. Funny part is I think being under a 100 yds can produce just as many issues as being at 800. Shoot a deer in heavy cover and you better drop it quick. Shoot a deer out here and just sit back and watch where it goes. Really lets you see things you never would in heavy cover. Takes a lot of the MYSTERY out of bullet performance and animal behavior.
