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

If memory serves me but don't hold me to this.
Howard Hill-Long Bow Eighty something pounds, 174 yards-4th shot, Bull Elk. I know he did some awesome things with a bow. I saw him on TV on an old show called you ask for it-on top of a station wagon going 60 miles per hour-seated, pull arrow out of a back quiver-load & shoot BULLSEYES on targets as they drove by them-I think 6 targets-don't know how far apart but it was awesome.
Harry Drake shot a arrow out of a recurve (lying down) & strapped to his foot over a mile. Don't know the poundage. Drake was always shooting for distance-they say some of the bows he built for this only made one shot.
