38 yards! I don't think I will ever shoot that far again though. Yes, I practiced and could've hit at 50 if needed. I was very lucky. The deer werent spooked, wind slightly blowing. The deer ducked, and turned and I hit her in the neck or she would've been hit bad. For the record I was and still shoot a Mathews Switchback XT so I'm not shooting a "slow bow".

Deer are just to fast reacting and I personaly do not think it is ethical to shoot at a deer past 40, much less 35 yards. Bows now-a-days are much faster than used to be but 60 yards is a long shot with a bow. Conditions may be perfect but I won't shoot it. My hat is off to those that do but IMO and my opinion only, if you keep shooting at deer that far you are gonna end up with a bad hit on one. I am not knocking anyone that has done this but just sayin I won't and I trust you guys' judgement that if you feel comfy in doing it, then by all means do it.

43 yards. 40 is max for me. I have shot them within 6 feet of me. The closer the better

38 yds. Way to far, because so much can, and will go wrong many times.
