My max is 50 if ideal conditions, 40 for 95% of the shots, but I would take a 60 yd shot on a wounded animal that I was able to stop or close the distance on. Luckily haven’t had to do that in 35 years of archery hunting. Most of my shots have been 25-30yds. I shoot on field conditions on 3d targets at the range and feel confident to 60, I just mentally can’t get past the amount of time the arrow is in the air when I think about it.

This ^^^
My maximum range is 0.5 seconds of flight time whether it's traditional or compound. Elk take big steps.
My archery elk kills have all been 40 and under, usually under(compound) and under 25 (traditional).
