Know Your Range

Sometimes, you may not have time to “range” the deer before you shoot. If you’re in either a treestand or a ground blind, always “pre-range” the immediate area in which you think you might see a deer within bow range. For example, that small pine tree over there is 18 yards. That birch tree is 25 yards and that small creek is exactly 40 yards away. Knowing your ranges in advance will in most cases, save you from having to range the deer before you shoot. Now, if you have time, of course, use your range finder before the shot.
