With the right ammo the deer we have up here could certainly be harvested with one. The only thing I would be leery of is the hunter. As long as the hunter is not one of the "I shoot at deer" as opposed to "I shoot deer" type hunters. I have seen a few shooters who could shoot a 1911 at 50yrds but very few. If you are actually good enough with one to put the round where you want it at that range? Hell why not. The round can certainly do the job as long as the shooter can put it where it needs to be.What do you guys think about deer hunting wit a 1911 10mm for deer within 100 yards probably much closer to 50 yards thanks
100 or even 50 yards with a pistol, too risky, have to respect your prey.
archery range I'm sure its possible.
Man thats for sure my First bow was 70# draw and the pins were about a 1.25 inch spread between the 20-50yrs pins my newer 45# bow all the pins are basicly touching and less then 30yrds all the pins are on target.Not to be argumentative but just what we consider archery these days is different than before. When I was a kid (16) I shot a doe with an arrow. It was a Long shot.. 35 yds. I think it was pretty common to be considered long archery at 40 yds even for an advanced adult shooter at that time.
"Archery Range" with modern tech is pretty widely considered to be past 50 yds.
Why?

Why not???
This^^Maybe at a target, but I don't know a single archery hunter who will take a shot at a deer or elk past 60 yards. 60 is my personal archery max and that's if I have a perfect broadside and can't possibly get any closer.
If you can't put 10 shots in a coffee cup at 100 yds every time I'd say whatever you are shooting rifle or pistol is the wrong tool for the job.
Because there are better tools for the job. You could probably frame a house with a shovel. Not sure why you would. Just curious. That's why I asked.
To me, archery is no different than rifle, hand gun, Black Powder. All that matters to me is can the person shooting at the animal consistently hit what they aim at. In this case the kill zone so the animal is not just wounded to run off and bleed out. Too many hunters shoot "at" game. For me archery would be too far at 20yds as it's been so damn long since I used one. Now if someone can hit the kill shot regularly at 50yds with that same bow? Great, go for it. Sadly way too many shooters and hunters have VERY elevated idea's of their skill level. Go shooting with many of them and they can not shoot anything like they talk.Not to be argumentative but just what we consider archery these days is different than before.
