Other than me stating max 40 and why, most all responses were 60-70 yes with a few 80s(yes 80)thrown in. After my rant I'm sure I'll get raked over the coals but I don't care.i know there are several who have worked up legit 50 yarders but it's getting ridiculous. Thank you TV for taking this sport from how close can we get to how far can we shoot.

I don't dispute the fact with components available today that turkey killing patterns are achievable at very long distances. Doesn't mean it you need to shoot that far. Like you said,and I agree, lots of variables come into play when you stretch yardage. I must be turning into an old fuddy duddy at the ripe old age of 44 because I just don't understand what was wrong with the old ways of hunting turkeys we grew up with.

Quote from: deerbasshunter3 on January 12, 2016, 09:16:02 AMI am not siding with those who take long shots (past 40 yards), but I wonder if there was ever a time when people thought those who were starting to shoot out to 40 yards were pushing the limits? Like every other sport, there are always those (people and companies) who like to see if they can push the limits.This is no different than bow companies and bow hunters no longer limiting themselves to the "standard" 30 yards. There are sights now that are made to be used out to longer distances. Not to mention the bows are getting so advanced that people are able to shoot them out at farther distances.

There are sights now that are made to be used out to longer distances. Not to mention the bows are getting so advanced that people are able to shoot them out at farther distances.Im not arguing that the equipment,and in some cases the person using them,isnt capable of some amazing things now days. Ive got friends who shoot a lot of archery that can shoot 80 yd groups better than a lot of people can at 40.My gripe comes in when shooting at those distances is what can happen in a fraction of a second with either the animal moving,slight wind change,lots of variables that make the difference between a wounded animal or a dead one. What can be accomplished on paper/targets is a far cry from what should be attempted on a live animal.
