average distance on whitetail kills?

Just curious if you combined all your deer kills what do you think your average shot distance would be? I'd take a guess and say around 15-18yards

 

I have only killed one with a bow and it was 12 yards.

 

I'd say your 15-18 yards hits mine on the head also. I like em close.

 

My last 8 bowkills are what I can remember--25 yards, 12 yards, 7 yards, 30 yards (on the ground), 15 yards, 20 yards, 12 yards, 14 yards...so I guess it is around 17 yards for the last 4 years or so. That seems to be my average.

As I get older the further 30 yards seems to me when I am up a tree. I had some deer at 30 yards the other day broadside and it just felt wrong. I like em 20 yards or less.

 

15-18 yards here as well.

 

Right at about 18 or 19 yards. I've only taken one past twenty

 

My closest was last year at 10 yards. The furthest was 32 yards a few years ago, never again will I even think of shooting that far when I know I can get closer. I would have to say around 18 yards to be an average. I'll be doing everything to get that number lower as well!

 

My average came to 17.8...I was guessing 18 yards...seems to be a pretty consistent average. And most of my stands are set up for shots around this yardage.

 

12 yards

 

Same here, about 14-18 yards.

 

The majority of mine have been 15-20 yards

 

I've got 2 longer distance ones that skew the average (42 and 44 yards). With them pulled out I'd say about 12ish yards. The last 3 bucks were all at or under 10.

 

I would say 15 to 18 yards

 

36, 24, 20, 21, 30 I think were my last 5 bowkills.

 

Whitetails 19 yards.

All big game 27.5 yards.

 

I had this figured out at one point & it was 13 yds, My last several deer were all under that, so it may have bumped down to 12.

 

06' buck ~ 15 yards
07' doe ~ 5 yards
09' doe ~ 22 yards

Average of: 14 yards

 

Under 25 yards...farthest was the 8pt I took a few years ago at 28.
