I agree with sumner4991, shooting at deer at 50yds range not the greatest thing to do, to much variables involved, My limit would be 40yds top, but try for setting up under 20yds...I just like to practice at that range, I figure practicing at that range makes the 20 yd hunting shot much more easier to do...

That arrow combo is now on display...first one ever for me.... :D

Funny I told my friend this weekend not to shoot at the same spot when he shot at 40 yds. and guess what? He 's got one of those $12.00 BooBoo's also!

Just one Vixen II Ordered. (MisSpell) I've got a self full of mistakes from over the Years never had a Cedar Shaft Robin Hood they just seemed to peel like a bananna.
Plus, IMO shooting at a Deer at 40- 50 Yards is not good judgement and could well result in fuel for the anti's.
