[QUOTE="biff's reloading, post: 2406934, member: 6078"] I have a hoyt crx32 set at 74lb. 31.5" draw. Arrows weigh 475gr and go 292fps on my chrony. Amazing fast and accurate setup that makes me look much better than I am. Longest shot I've taken at animal was 37 yards. at a woodchuck. 28 at deer. Zero missed or wounded. My single pin goes to 95 yards and I've played around shooting a bit further. I'm very confident I could hit a stationary target out to 100, but the time it takes to get there is reeeeeally long. Plenty of time for an animal to move completely out of the way before it got there and the downward angle is pretty severe at that distance. Not to mention the slightest bit of breeze blows it a foot or more off the target. Long range rifle shots are not like long range bow shots. Sure u can just plug numbers in for dope, but a bullet gets there before the sound does. A 70yard bow shot gives a full second of reaction time between "thunk" and "thwak". Man, that's an eternity to a prey animal. He gone. Or worse, he gutshot. Drop of my arrow with my pin set at 27 yards (my point blank setting so I don't have to adjust the pin out to 35yards) is almost 100 inches! Double that at 100 yards. At 105 yards, I'd have to hold 200 inches over my 27 yard pin! 17 feet! If theres a tree between us, that arrow would hit branches 20 feet off the ground on it's way out.
