Long distance shots

[CopperHead77]

What's the longest distance you've ever put one down?I think 60yrds is the longest I've witnessed.

 

[WingNut]

about 55 yards. I prefer those 15 or 20 yard shots.

45ish is about as far as i will shoot at one...thats just me though.

however i have witnessed a 1 shot 2 flop kill at 65-70yds.

Not over 25 for me. Just not into "sky-busting", I mean, "dirt-busting".

I've killed one at 63 steps before. I had to literally chase him down and finish him off with a choke hold though ! Don't shoot that far anymore, i dont want to shoot past 45 yds now.

84 steps, a shot im not proud of. Wide open pasture I estimated around 55 yds. Once i shot my buddy comes unglued asking what I was shooting at. I said the turkey was leaving so i shot. He couldnt believe what I had done, he ask how far do you think that bird was, I say 55 or so steps, he says a hundred steps.We step it off at 84 steps. I was not use to hunting open pasture. My shots are normally in thick woods with in 30 yds. In the wide open it looked much closer.

Same situation for me, I was shooting down a logging road and I thought mine was around 45-50 yds.

45 steps I would have to say but that was a few years back. lol

One reason I like the "turkey" scope I'm using is that it's also somewhat of a simple rangefinder. It's not as as accurate as a laser, but it will keep me from mistaking 50 yards for 40 yards.

[Anonymous]

within 40 yards for me

 

[Gravey]

I ranged one a couple of years ago at 49 and rolled him.

 

[Bertman]

35 yards

 

[RNT]

both of mine were 50+ last year

 

[Buck Assassin]

48 yards

 

[Setterman]

Same goes for me, the fun FOR ME is calling a bird to me and getting personal with them, sniping them isn't why I play the game. I have deer season to take care of that.

If you would have let me call him a little longer I would have had him in our lap :grin: .
That was a good hunt. Can't draw it up any better then that morning.

 

[RutMutt]

57 steps. Try to limit to 50 yrds. Can't stand those old hung up birds.

 

[luvtohunt]

60. But I try to stay 50 max.

 

[muddyboots]

Not gonna say but it was a fur piece.
