There is more than one way to bag a deer. My old bow and I did not get along. However, I took my largest deer yet with it at 15 feet (yes 5 yards). If you can't shoot accuratley at a distance, you avoid the shot, whether it is a gun or a bow. But as I said earlier, if you hunt for any length of time, you will eventually make a bad shot. Once I hit a missed with a slug at 25 yards. I could not understand it until I found a lone twig (1/2") cleanly nipped off. I did not even see it prior to the shot. The deer was not even hit.
