[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 402163, member: 2740"] About 5 years ago near the end of bow season there were a group of does that would come out to feed in a certain spot each evening. It was in January and there were no suitable trees to hang a stand in. I found a deadfall tree that made a great natural blind at the edge of the field. The deer would come as close as 60 yards pretty consistently so I added a 60 yard pin on my bow in addition to the 20-50 yard pins. I practiced until I could consistently put three arrows into less than 6" at 60 yards then went out the evening before the last day of the season. The does came out to feed and one turned broadside at exactly 60 yards. I ranged her at least a half dozen times. I drew, settled the pin and carefully squeezed off the shot. At the hit she ran off into the woods. After waiting a while I took up the blood trail in the fading light. I jumped up a deer and wasn't sure if it was her so I elected to come back the next morning. I recovered her at the end of about a 150 yard blood trail. I definitely would not reccommend shooting that far without knowing the exact yardage, trajectory of your arrow and putting in lots of practice.
