On mulies with very little wind (hardly ever very little wind when hunting mulies) I might go out to 500 with the 7mm STW if I couldn't get any closer.

i dont like takin shots over 250 with a rifle and in the places i hunt its a rare occurence.
i can shoot my bow out to 50 yds well enough to be confident in a shot. But, unfortunately i dont agree with the flight of many broadheads at that distance. I have taken most of my deer at 20-35 yds. I would comfortably take a 40yd shot in the right situation

Still getting used to my bow so 35 yrds. And with a gun farthest I have shot is 175. But I might try 200 if I thought it was doable.
If you look back over your life are you fully satisfied you pleased the Maker of Creation. Are you fully assured that you have trusted in His Son, Jesus Christ, for your salvation. Are you confident that you have a definite hope of going to Heaven?

300 with 270 wsm on deer. Corsicans out as far as I can see. Coons same thing, if I can see it I'm slinging lead. Don't hunt with a stick and a string.

bow - 30 rifle - 500 depending on which rifle I have with me. With the .243 100-150 max, the 30-06 250 unless it's a hog, the 300 RUM 350-400 all day long, the 270 WSM with 25X scope and 56mm objective 500-600 is not out of the question, add a minimum of 100 yards to all figures for shots on hogs
