Well the land I am hunting is pretty thick so the longest shot I would have is 40 yards which I am confident. I am using a Barnett Whitetail 2 this season. Both my Tenpoints were blowing through my targets messing up my veins. So I sighted this one in to use during turkey season until my Blob target arrives, the blobs were on backorder. I could have gotten a Spyderweb or Bigshot but wanted the Blob and it will be here in a few weeks. Those crossbows are a different story. My stealth shoots a 455 grain arrow 390 fps and my Vengent shoots the same arrow about 420 fps. Honestly the farthest shot with either of those on an animal is 40 yards. Targets out to 70. I still have the compound mentality of 40 yards even with a crossbow. Shoulders and elbows just can't hold them back anymore though.
