How far can I safely shoot with it to harvest a whitetail?

using the red dot sites, bottom dot at 45 yards dropped a white tail. Arrow drops really fast after 45 yards.

I agree 80 yds but not me I have my sights on 30-45 and 60. Top 3 intersects.

I would feel comfortable taking a 40 yard shot with this bow. That is just my self imposed limit. However this bow is very capable of at least 60 yard shots.

This bow is capable of making an ethical kill at 60yds. It is an extremely fast and accurate bow. I have a friend who shoots the new Excalibur maxis 380 and although it is a little faster . At 30 and 40 yards I can group as good or better than he does . Personally I have a self imposed limit of 40 to 45 yds.

Not really. This is more for judging the distance of bigger game like deer. When you're shooting a rifle, the bullet drops at a particular rate so knowing the distance is paramount. The same holds true with archery. If you're off on your on your archery distance by 10-12 yards, you'll shoot higher or lower than your intended target. Squirrels and rabbits are typically shot with a shotgun within 50 yards. You won't need a rangefinder for anything shotgun related.

3-4 pumps is sufficient for plinking, and will fire the pellet accurately to 25 yards. Max is 8 and will drop small game 40-50 yards out with a well placed shot. Remember to store with 1 pump.

50 yards is a long ways for any pellet gun. If you practice holdovers for that range you could keep it on paper. I wouldn't use it on critters at that range. A humane kill should be precise.

If i put some broadheads on the bolts it would be easy to kill a deer. Any small game is easy to bag with this 150 pounder

Accurately? I'd say a 200 feet at most. This is a very accurate pellet pistol, but it's not very powerful, so if you need something to shoot longer distances, this might not be the best gun.

I have this trap set up in my pole barn at 30 foot. I use my pellet rifle most of the time to perfect my shooting skills, but could also use my 22 cal rifles. When my granddaughter wants to shoot, I move it outside at 50 yards and use different targets.

Specs are 685 fps for .22 cal. Heavier pellets will drop a little. Use a good hunting pellet that you know is accurate with your gun. Every gun has it's own personality. Head shot only. I wouldn't feel comfortable over 20 yards myself. Wounding any animal is not humane. Practise, practise, practise. Good luck hunting.

I can see no reason to not use it. I regularly shoot at 30-35 yds at moving squirrels and have no problems at all...

after the mods i made to my bow i would think it could easily slay a fish at close range 15 ft or less with the right arrows the arrows included wont suffice buy some real fishing arrows but i would not suggest any modifications to the bow i took a chance and got lucky so far hope you have fun !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Short answer: Yes! Once you get to know your gun and get it dialed in properly, 50yds shouldn't be a problem at all. I have at least 3 kills at that range. All rabbits, all head shots, all dropped and died within a few seconds. Above 55 - 60 yds, I don't know. Haven't done it.

I use a rim/pack of white paper and at a distance of 15 ft the least. It penetrate 3/4 and sometimes 1/2 of the bolt length. and never went through the paper. And for safety I put a 1/4 inch plywood in the back 4x4 size depending on how you trust yourself in shooting a target.

I would be confident to 500 yards. I wouldn't take a longer shot than that on a deer.

You'll probably need something if your shooting under 300 yards. I always put a log or heavy rock on the stands of mine. It's the same where I live...mostly rock

i have shots as clsoe as 3 or 4 feet. The problem is the distant shots. it's difficult to spot and evaluate deer size targets at much past 50 yards.

I'd guess 20-25 feet when you stream it. I left it on the default setting of 40psi I think. You can probably make it shoot further. I spray it up and let it fall so it hits the tops of my trees. Hope this helps.

I live and hunt in Vermont where a 100 yard shot is considered long. Honestly I cannot fathom a 300 yard shot. This scope does allow easy acquisition and has been a good purchase for me.
