I know ethics is going to come into play here,But I am sure most of us have pulled one of those 65 70 yard shots off.
I have killed a deer at 60 yards ,I practiced that shot before season,in open country hiding behind round hay bales.
In open country you will be easily fooled,unless you have time to range it,which seldom happens.
I made a clean and successful shot because I practiced,and had a pin set up.As far as Energy the arrow went through and stuck in the ground a couple inches.
Not saying this is the best choice for most hunters since archery is
"an up close and personal event,and do not recommend any one taking this shot"

60 yards at Catoosa in a food plot from the ground. I killed an 80 lb spike that ran about 50 yards.
