A compound bow can shoot an arrow over 1,000 feet, but the farthest recorded shot that actually hit a target is 930.04 feet. Most archers stay within what is called the “effective range,” which is typically between 30 and 60 yards.

he effective range for most compound bow-wielding hunters is between 30 and 60 yards, with the majority staying in the 30 to 40-yard range.

A hunter who can take down any kind of game at even 60 yards is either highly skilled or highly lucky.

There are tales of 100-yard kills, but they are as difficult to believe as they are few and far between.

So, if you have an arrow that is 350 grain traveling at a rate of 300 feet per second (divided by 450,240), it has a kinetic energy level of roughly 70 ft-lb.
