Default RE: Does anyone know the farthest shot ever with compound bow.

I read a story about Fred Bear.
I read it a long time ago, so I'll tell it as best my memory serves me.

Fred was hunting Tigers. ( India, I believe)

The natives put on a drive to try to flush out the tiger for him. He saw the tiger but it was about 85 yards away and not going to come any closer.

Fred decided to try to shoot an arrow slightly over the tiger. He was hoping that the arrow's impact on the brush, on the other side of the tiger, would scare the tiger and cause it to come his way.

He picked out his worst arrow, drawed back his recurve and let it fly.

Supposedly, the tiger was a little farther than Fred realized, because he hit the tiger. He had witnesses that were there with him. It was measured at 85 yards.

That is what I recall of the story I read, a long, long time ago.
