Get closer. 20m is the MAXIMUM.

With arrows,I always go for heart shots, frontal preferred. On Loggers Point I have gotten full packs of Muledeer - good hiding, staying hidden, luring them VERY close, and dropping them instantly with heart shots. Nothing beats the Python when used this way. If they are too close, the other bows spook animals as well. The Python does not. The 40 and 60 meter pins for it are a bad joke, however. It can reach that far, yes, but you spoil your silence advantage, and always have a long search.

Problem with Logger's Point is the open range. I hide in trees and bushes (and I mean full concealment by foliage, even when interrupting LOS), or just behind hilltops, luring animals blindly, one by one, to pass over it, then go for neck shots at <10m. In this context I also avoid shooting at moving animals, if possible.

Maybe they should make ropes a new weapon, to strangle deer.
