Excellent information. I set my limit at 40 yards, and I have one the fastest TenPoint bows. Thats the same limit I had with my Turbo GT model also. We have to be ethical hunters, the game we hunt deserves it.
Lol
I agree, I keep my shots at 40 yd also.
Yup!
Well said. I have been a bow hunter over 40 years and this is nothing but the truth. Listen to his advice.
Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it.
40 yards is my limit with my excalibur 340 shooting 150 grain bolt cutters on pro flights. I practice 60 yard shots and know I can shoot tight enough groups to ruin my bolts($$$$$)2-3inch groups on a bad day. I just know 40+ gives them enough time to react to the sound of the bow and run the risk of wounding a deer. I hunt Fields from the wood line so no branches to worry about. I made a few 50 yard shots on deer and had a clean pass through even through rib bones but 50 yards is still pushing it but the shot felt right so I took it. I have let a bunch walk at 30 and 40 yards just because I didn't feel like it was a good call to take the shot at the time as well.
Really comes down to having good judgement and knowing what your gear can and can't do through practice. I'm sure plenty of people dropped deer 60 or 70 yards perfectly fine but I know with my bow anything past 40 yards is high risk for one to duck or jump the bolt. I've seen first hand the amount of pain and suffering a poorly placed shot can inflict on a animal and I can tell you 90% of the animals I've choose not to pull the trigger on I've seen again in the future. I'd rather let another hunter be able to also use good judgement and maybe look take a clean shot on that deer while I wait for another deer take will give me a more favorable shot that I can feel more confident in taking for my freezer.
Where I'm from if you get a deer you share with friends and neighbors what you can and they do the same so it's a win win.
Absolutely terrific. Thanks for this video.
Good job. Thought this was going to be another video of someone talking poop. But your nailed it
Spot on information, presented very well. Thanks for sharing.
Good straight talk ten point nice job
Excellent video!
Excellent presentation.
thanks for the info
Excellent video. This is totally different than what your competitor Ravin promotes. They encourage taking 100 yard shots. All Ravin does is fuel the flames of those who do not like crossbows, calling them crossrifles and wanting them banned.
I enjoy enjoyed you video, great information and you explained it so that it very easy to understand. I am a crossbow hunter and i am a senior hunter i love the information about the ethical Hunter. My limit for distance is 40 yards, i want to put the animal down as quickly and clean as possible. So thanks for the info about the arrow and how it drops and the weight and kinetic energy. Thanks again.
Valuable information 😁
Thanks I w
I'll set my ripper 415 and lethal 405 to 32 yards thanks for the info
I’m a bit surprised that more people don’t know this. Nonetheless, it’s good that this information is out there.
Shot my invader 400 for the first time today. 40 yards is where I plan the deer to be standing, so I practiced at 50. First thing I noticed is how LOUD the crossbow is right out of the package so I've bought dampeners. Next is that there is definitely time for a deer to react before the bolt will reach the animal at 50, so I'm hoping the reduction of sound and limiting myself to about 40 yards will make the difference. Will be practicing 1 more time before taking in to the field, but crossbows are definitely not rifles and it should be more advertised more as a close range fast speed bow than a long range bow that shoots like a gun.
Excellent job on the video. Even the most fastest crossbows are NOT you next rifle !!!
Great video guys! A crossbow does NOT mean “take any shot” 👏🦌🏹
Great video. Should be included in Hunter Ed.
Thanks for your comment! We strive to educate hunters and shooters as we can.
Where do you get a crossbow rest like the one you have???
I agree with alot of this, but I only hunt open fields with my 10point turbo S1, and I use a burris oracle x. This bow groups insanely tight at 60 yards, and with my BOG DEATHGRIP, I'll shoot a deer, in an open field, out to 60-70 yards
Great video what's the tripod ?
Shooting a 526 Grain bolt at 355fps pretty good at 50 yards, but that would certainly be my limit.
Could you tell me the brand name of the tripod that you’re using in this video.
I still limit myself to 30 yards, I know how fast a deer can react and don't want to be looking for a wounded deer in the dark, if I can't find it right away it's coyotes dinner. I have a Viper S400 and am shooting the Elite pro 400 bolts. I know the crossbow can shoot farther but it's just what I believe is a good ethical range especially with how loud crossbows are.
I'll say this-ive never had a penetration problem even out to 35yds. Almost over penetration. But just because it's in the field-id never think of anything passed 45yds. 50 has me aiming too high-my angles gotta b affected out there
What company makes that rest
I've got the new Turbo S1 from TenPoint....I will not even consider a shot over 40yds....I'm not taking that chance.
Lol man what about out west where they regularly take 80 - 100 yd shots with bows let alone cross bow. I think the only true ethical distance is in the skill level of the shooter. No set distance.
Yeah it depends on the landscape and the animal moreso than the skill of the hunter, especially with crossbows. Safe to say, 80 yards will never be an ethical shot on a whitetail with any archery equipment.
John Barron I beg to differ
I just imagine what the Brits could have done with modern crossbows back then.
So why tenpoint is making 500 fps bow if I have to stay 50 yards point and pay 3000$ hehe i can do same with 700$ bow
Egy tankot nem akarsz alátenni
I agree but its tough to take this seriously when 10 pt and all the other manufactures keep advertising Blistering speed and tiny hundred yard groups. Don’t tell me they are talking about target shooting when your marketing the latest greatest camo pattern and lighter weight bows. 😂
Your confusing advertising hype with what he’s talking about-ethical shot distance. I have a fast crossbow and I’ve tested it out to 70 yards & can shoot accurately at that distance. However, I also noticed beyond 50 there is a significant delay from the sound of the shot and the sound of impact above 50-enough to know taking a target capable of movement above that range is not wise, if you’re concerned with making a clean kill.
I like 30 yards or less in archery learn to hunt closer.
