[QUOTE="Atchman2, post: 4048770, member: 10762"] My question to myself is, "Would I try a shot at 50 yards?". In that past I would say "no", but now I'm thinking of spending a few more practice sessions with it. If I'm confident of the shot, and there is little or no wind and no obstructions, I think I would take it now. In the past I wouldn't have considered it since I'd never tried shooting at extended ranges. With the small size of the deer here in East Tennessee and the sharpness and effectiveness of these new broadheads, an extended range shot is viable. I have one place where I can get back in this brushline in a ground blind. The deer come out in the early season to feed. It isn't a food plot, but they come out there to nibble on something in the evening. What has stopped me hunting there is area is too wide to shoot all the way across it with a bow or crossbow. However, I've had a couple of opportunites past 30 yards that I've passed on there. Might give it a try this year. (During gun and ML season, I never see them there. Only in the early bow season.)
