125 yards to the feeder and about 250 to the opposite treeline, which is equally likely to produce a deer on my place.

One blind has a feeder at 83 yds and another at 130 yds.
#2 blind 70 and 100 yds
Feeder at bow blind is only 12 ft form arrow head to feeder.
But the "planned" shot is 20 ft just before they get to the feeder. Man, 12ft? That is only 3 yards away. You could just hold the arrow and poke the deer with it from there. Hopefully you meant 12yards adn 20 yards.

My feeders range from 65-75 yards. I do have food plots that get out to around 250 yards.

Mine is set at 75 yards. This was my sisters first year to hunt in about 10 - 15 years so she needed an easy shot. She shot two bucks this year. One shot she pulled about a foot and the other one she shot in the spine. The summer she is working on her shooting skills.
If you keep your hair short and your mouth shut, things tend to run a lot smoother.

125 yards. This year I'm shortening it to about 8o yards. As I get older, "mamma's little baby loves shortening, shortening"

No feeders or rifles for me when it comes to deer. Just a few hang-on stands in oak trees. Catch em traveling on a trail, checking a scrape, or call em in. If I can't do it with a bow, I don't do it at all.

I actually just moved mine. 1/2 mile on one, 3/4 mile on the other. Don't worry, I can shoot a deer in the eye at 2 miles, so these are skillet shots.
