Thread: Are hunters taking longer shots these days?

All good points - yes range finders coupled with knowing your dope have definitely made an impact. I have to give NZ bow hunters a lot of credit... if it's not 40m or in with a compound/crossbow, they won't take the shot. For trad recurve bows, it's probably 20m or less.

Nothing against long range ethical shots - most of us are not dependent on the meat, so the experience of a closer stalk is the thrill.
