Some guys producing hunting shows must think we are blind!
Ok.. Just finished watching a "Knockout Hunting Adventures" 30 min hunting show(really a drawlock infomercial) with this kid shooting a drawlocked bow.
First of all I think it is great that this product shows how we can get children bow hunting. This was a 10 year old kid and he just did what he was told so I have no problem with him. He killed a doe and it was cool to sit there with my daughter and let her watch another kid hunt.
Here were the problems:
[ul][*]All through the hunt this kid is spouting all this stuff sounding like a big hunter celebrity. Anyone with a brain could tell that this kid was just spitting out what they told him to say.[*]Then the kid shootsthe deer and it’s a bad shot that anyone could see. It was about 3 inches from going over the deer and right in the middle of the deer’s body. So on to the so called tracking job. This 10 year old was still being scriptedand saying “he won’t be far.. Look at all the blood on the arrow" and a bunch of other crap that they are obviously making him say. Then he gets to the deer. The camera is behind it and he does the old fake "oh there he is" BS. Then you see a shot of the deer with the hole in just like I had thought(described above) and theses idgets have the nerve to have the kid say "it was a perfect shot". WHAT THE CRAP!!!!!! My 4 year old daughter is sitting there all excited that the kid killed adeer and says "ooo look daddy perfect shot". That got all over me ![*]Finally, this yahoo could not even make up his mind what poundage bow this kid was shooting. Early in the show he said it was 75 lbs. Then in the last segment he’s goes on talking about the kid’s ability to effectively hunt with an 80lb bow.[/ul]
Notonly do they think we are blind they must think we are dumb as well. Or maybe its just they are blind and dumb.. Or just plain liars.
With the recent posts about shows and some guys syaing they dont watch anymore I am now beginning to understand why.
