My max range is 40 yards. Which I never shot at a deer this distance, but I do practice this shot quite a bit. But I will only shot at a deer thats 40 yards away if, EX. I shoot a deer in the shoulder, and he has a hard time running, and he walks out to 40 yards, i will take another shot to finish him.
The pin is just there incase I need that second shot. There is agood article in a past issue of bowhunter, about a 40 yard pin, when and why hunters should have one. The reason, which I followed, is for that second shot. But lucky enough, I haven't had to use it!
Good hunting,
Jason V
