what is your longest archery shot on an animal?

i have a friend that can say he shot a wounded turkey hen at 76 yards....and i can believe him as he has witnesses to a 41 yard blackbird shot

i myself have yet to kill something with my bow missing a turkey at 30 yds judging him for 20

Bow hunting is more about getting close to the animal. I would be more proud of a 15 yard shot than 70 yard shot.

But my longest is probably a 35 yard shot on a rabbit.

I agree with Burn about being more proud about closer shots, my longest is last years buck at 35 yards.
