Thread: Average range of deer shot?

I’ve shot a bunch more animals since I commented on the other thread that’s been linked in here, but the general gist is the same. I’ve shot animals out to 350m but have only shot a few past 200. I’d say 90% of my animals taken have been within 100m. The last deer I shot was 8m & the one before that was roughly 30m.

Ultimately though it comes down to taking sensible shots- I’m comfortable pulling the trigger on anything out to 400m, though I’ve refrained from pulling the trigger on many animals much closer than that if I wasn’t confident in the shot due to lack of a stable rest in the moment or something like that.
