Congrats on your deer.  :clapper:    :clapper:   Whitetail or mulie?

Uh....question..
If you "wouldn't normally take that shot", what was abnormal about this specific situation that you DID take that shot?

Do you use a rangefinder? If you would normally shoot to 30 just wondering how you knew it was 35.Maybe that was after the shot?From a stand I doubt if I could have told the difference without one.

Well done!  When the instincts take over go with it, that's my standard when deciding to let one go.  Sometimes when I draw it isn't there, as I've grown over the years, when that happens I just let the bow down and work on getting my shooting/hunting instincts centered.  And when you draw and its there, let her go!  35 yards isn't too far for your equipment

Biggie,  "I was feeling really good, a little cocky, so I let'r fly", to quote my original post. No other explanation, it just felt good so I released.  
 James, no rangefinder. I'll admit I didn't know the distance for sure until after the kill but it was obviously a longer-than-normal shot.
  I shoot at 30 yards at a life size deer target in my back yard.  When I'm feeling good, I'll smack the kill-zone regularly but when i'm tuckered or sressed-out, the shots stray.
