    Bow and Arrow

    If it's 500 ft. to shoot a firearm at game, How many feet to shoot a bow and arrow at game near a domain legally?

    My opinions 15 yards is an easy shot, 20 yards most bow hunters can do accurately, 30 yards is a long shot.

    There is no regulation for distance from another building for archery shooting.

    Sorry misunderstood the question. I thought it was an odd question... Now it makes more sense.

    a compound bow going over 300 ft per second 35-40 yards is doable.

    With a cross bow 80 yards.

    Other people would maybe try to do more than that ... I would not.

    Looking back the OP did edit his post to clarify the question after I answered.

    I never gave that a thought, but you're right!

    Submissive gun rights advocates need to lose their submissiveness before we lose our 2A rights.

    It depends on what bow you are exactly using, it can be recursive ad it will shot on 500hd yards, hope that, and you can use a simply bow and will shoot on 50 yds
