Longest Trad Kill.. ?

[North Idaho Stickbow]

Mine was this last fall. A toad of a bear at about 33-35 yards up in a tree. It’s was like the miniature golf shot of trad archery with how bad the trees were swaying in the wind.

I hit my sister in the back with a bow I made from a stick and string, my guess is 75 yards. Literally snapped off a limb, notched it and found some string somewhere. Used arrows I had from one of those old green fiberglass bear bows. This was probably around 1975. One of those hail marys where you would never think it would ever hit, well it did.
Let the spanking begin...

Edit: She was fine, arrow didn't even stick.

30 yards I killed an 8 point whitetail this past October. Usually I would not have taken that shot but he was very calm and had zero clue I was there. Great double lung hit and he didnt more than a few yards. Only reason I felt good was a summer full of 30 shoots, made me such a better shot just shooting 1 arrow at a target that I didnt know the yardage.

38 yards on a 3 x 3 muley in 1993. Used a homemade recurve, wood arrows and old Bear Razorheads.

About 45-50 years ago, I killed a whitetail doe at about 38 long strides(steps). It was one those rare moments where it was pure instinctive, with no thought about distance. The doe ran about 40+- yards and fell over. I’ve never shot anything at that distance since.
