Nothing to special with a bow, but with my grand dads open sight 3030 shot a javelina running across road at about 75 yards after my buddy missed the whole group with his scoped .243 (buddy not really the best shot haha) or a 350 yd. shot after running up and down fingers of paloduro canyon chasing a group of auodad, shot a ewe with 7mm while resting the rifle on my brother in laws shoulder. Longest shot i have ever made on an animal to date

best ever was standing in a boat called an ear shot on a nutria at about 70 yards,, took my ruger target barrel 22 pistol fired the shot one handed since I was holding a flashlight in the other,, I figured I would just tell my cousin and bil he sank,, I knew I would be able to hit real close,,, I put it through the ear hole and blew the other side off,,, after calling the shot!
shot a couple of jack rabbits with the after burners on with a colt light weight officers model in 40 cal at about 50 yards 3 in a row with no misses...
shot a doe through the eye with my obsession at about 35 yards,,, arrow flew as straight as any I have ever seen,,, she facing me coming down hill,,, I aimed at her chest she ducked her head and took it right through the eye,,, arrow went right were I aimed but she wanted a closer look I guess!

The one I remember the most is 5 quail on one covey rise.
Funest and luckiest is dove hunting with a 30+mph north wind and dove heading south. That was a fun day.
Several deer/pigs/coyotes between 500-600 yards
Crow at 450 setting on ATV... Me and my FIL were setting in the front yard after the morning hunt and crow landed out in a harvested bean field. I asked my FIL if he could see it and said I'm going to shoot it. He laughed and said no way, I pulled the trigger, crow fell over...I just looked at him with a big grin told him crow was for lunch.

Best shot should be something you have practiced for and made happen with confidence.. go ahead and tell me how dumb I am and to losses up but that's just my opinion..

Hear shot a Javelina at 62 yards with my bow a few years ago. Luck was on my side that day for sure! I stalked him down a side road while my BILs sat in the truck watching from a couple hundred yards away. The couldn't see me, they just saw the lighted knock like a tracer rope in the boiler room. The javi never knew what happened and he just ran into the middle of the road and fell over dead. Pretty awesome experiences.
