I know one outfitter who says a full 50% of his bowhunters wound game. My son had a very experienced bowhunter this year...he wounded a griz and a caribou...
Have seen the same with rifle hunters not advised.... do the same thing due to long range

As metioned above ...Distance = Shooters efficiency/skill + conditions and circumstances
