Average shot distance on pronghorn.

[S.Clancy]

With my bow (spot and stalk) 38-77 yds. Rifle, 70-420 yds. Most shots are in the upper quartile of those ranges.

How do you like the scenars??

136’s were accurate. I’ve since switched to the 139 for everything.

Here’s the 136 damage, exit side and the lungs:

Scenars are bone crushers - me and my family have killed a lot of animals with those bullets last 4-5 years.

Archery- bucks in the last 8 years have been between 6 and 63 yards. Only 1 was over 40 yards and 2 of them have been less than 10 yards. All spot and stalk in South Dakota. I hunt where I live and work so spend the vast majority of my time waiting to find a buck in a perfect spot and make a move. Would

Rifle- only shot 2 with rifle ever and they were both around 125 yards

 

[Trial153]

I have killed 6, all with a bow. All except one was over water and under 30 yards, the one that wasn't 45ish yards.

We’ve been out west the last few years hunting antelope. Shot distance seems to vary for us on location and how much pressure. One place we hunt they’re pretty spooky I tell people going with us be ready for 250-350yards. I took my daughter and her friend this past fall (both 12 at the time) and they got theirs within 100-150 yards. Either way they’re a blast to hunt!

I've shot probably 20 with a rifle, average shot is somewhere around 150 yards. I've shot 6 with my bow, all spot and stalk, at an average of probably 40 yards.

 

[bucktowntrotter]

The four we took last year: 212, 60, 75, 85.

Rifle average probably 175? Fwiw i think my longest shot on any big game animal might have been about 325-350. Although the specialized gear and I'd imagine the technical ability of the challenge can be fun, you don't need a long range rig or be able to take long range shots to be successful even out west and/or above treeline. If that's whats fun and interesting to a person then that's great, but I'm pretty confident you loose as many opportunities (or more) on close or short window shot opportunities with a big glassed, bipodded, longer/heavier gun as you gain with them for longer range opportunities. Just my opinion, and again, nothing against it!

 

[backcountrypackraft]

275 average. I hunt in some spots with minimal cover so you end up with longer shots sometimes

 

[missoulaz28]

Average 250-350
Extremes 80-425

My average is 286 yds. Of course I only shot my first last fall.

 

[Nostradamus]

Drew my bow up close to 50 yards on them couple different times in CO, but didn't shoot as I didn't have a tag.

 

[Nostradamus]

I have shot 3 here in Az. All 3 were with a bow and the shot distances were: 72 yards, 40 yards and 80 yards.

That's some serious skill now.

 

[Dust Rider]

Archery under 40 yards.
Rifle average 180-250 yards. I think my longest was under 500 in ND. After all confirmed rifle kills I save the brass and write with fine point sharpie marker the date, location, yardage, hunting district number. I also label the back of the skulls after them so I can remember when I get a little more senile.

 

[Dougfir]

I've killed 2: 250 and 300 yards

 

[Sled]
