Yea in the half second it takes the arrow to get there the ole Buck might get up and do the moon walk right out of the field. If you want trophys on the wall and meat in the freezer you better start letting arrows fly. I,ve made a ton of long shots and they don,t even hear the release like they do at 20 yds. Yes the conditions have to be right, Not windy, and if the beast knows your there don,t try it. These yuppies that won,t shoot a neck or take a long shot crack me up.
