[QUOTE="WYOHTF, post: 2406979, member: 115970"] [USER=6078]@biff's reloading[/USER] I agree with your post and have been thinking about this since I read this thread and made my “longest archery shot” post. I believe in practicing at longer ranges in all shooting disciplines which makes the shorter shots a slam dunk. But here is what I found several years ago, one of the does I harvested that day flinched. It wasn’t the longest shot of the day either. If I remember correctly, it was a 55 yard shot. I know without a doubt that she was hearing the arrow coming. A few years after my “longest archery shot” day I pulled up to my brothers house and he was shooting his bow. I heard his arrow as I went through the air, I was quartering towards him - off side from the target. I asked him to back up a try from 70 and I could not believe the noise. I was off side of the target by about 20’. I don’t have the greatest hearing and Could only imagine what a wild animal might hear. For the record, my furthest elk harvest is 27 yards. Never had the need to shoot longer than that. [/QUOTE]
