[QUOTE="toddc, post: 735634, member: 4566"] I have a personal limit of 80 for a 1st shot. 2nd shot? As far as I can see. I developed the sight system to do it as I guided a lot of hunters and wanted as much range as possible for a finishing shaft. Out on the plains sometimes an 80 yd bedded shot is better than a 40 yd jumpy shot. When the only cover is 2" buffalo grass sometimes your better off with a slightly longer shot. Deer usually dont jump string past 40. In fact I have never had it happen. That being said I dont think a lot of guys should be shooting AT ALL much less at any arbitrary range number like 20,40,60. I lived in old mexico 5 yrs and shot 2-3 hrs a day. My rig runs a 32 stab and back bars along with a 6x scope. Problem isnt whatever range guys shoot at its that its OUTSIDE thier comfort zone. That and they just cant hunt. Dont know when they can draw,move etc. And they end up guttin one cuz they arent paying attention to the animal and release right as hes likely to move. [/QUOTE]
