Data Update
We have data for 41 kills reported here. Overall the mean shot distance is just over 20 yards, with 90% coming in under 31.8yards. Somwhat interesting is that Buck kills tend to happen at slightly closer yardages. The blue line in the graph is 20 yards. You can see more bucks have been taken under that yardage (13 vs 7) and all under 35yds. Does are about the opposite. Not big differences, but things you can pull from the data. Hope this helps someone somewhere.
