Default who do you want taking that shot???

Ok, you're in the NBA world championship, you got 1 second left and ya down by three, who is taking that shot for you? Larry Bird or Jordan??

Now, your house is on the line, who is taking that shot at the deer?? Traditonal guys like Schultzy or someone like Gregh, who on this site do you want?? oh yeh, feel free to answer the first question!!

For the archery question:

Is the deer standing still or moving? What is the time factor? Is there enough room for a full upright shot by the archer, or will he have to duck/squat,kneel or maneuver around obsticle?

I'll take GMMAT on the archery question. I know he won't stop shooting until the deer says uncle.

OMG, I know I didn't just say that.[:-]

Jordan for the NBA and Bob, Ryan, BHF, Burnie, Arthur for the Traditional side. Give me a couple of weeks of practicing which I haven't started yet and maybe I'll join them guys.

For a clear, open, and non time constraint shot, it would be hard not to go with Compound Guy.

IMO those types of hunting situations are few and far between.

Thanks for your confidence Schultzy!!! You know how to get it done yourself!

For basketball it's hard to go against Bird, but after Jordan's buzzer beater in the finals I'll take him.

For hunting I don't know. I have known some incredible target/3d shooters that have come apart with a big buck in front of them. Trad guys seem to have ice in their veins, but I'd hate to lose my house if that deer is 30 yards away. I might have to go with Troy or Hunsucker. Both guys seem to be able to get it done with the big boys in front of them and it's usually a short tracking job.
