The truth is we have no idea how far that shot was, but I can say this is certain......there area lot of young hunters out there thinking to themselves "Hey ifI buy that bow I can make them 100yd shots too" and THAT'S the realsad part of this.
You don't think thats already being projected ?
How many pins comes with your favorite site ? How fast is your bow ? How light are your carbons ? FLYS LIKE FIELD POINTS _ how often is that used to market a product ?
Compound are designed and markets around SPEED and ACCURACY.
Also, you need look no further than most posts on western forums and western big game hunts where people think they have to shoot farther becuase they're "out west" - thats a huge misconception.
no, the whole drive of the compound industry is to create bows that shoot faster, flatter, with less practice than they use to. Quiet has become the fad of late too.

I completely agree with you, that is exactly what the compound bow designersmanufacturers andretailers want...a flat, fast bow that can ethically kill out to 100yds and beyond.I don't have a problem with that at all as long as the bow is...........in the right hands.
This was my point all along. I could care less about the actual distance of that shot hey, the guy put a killing shot on that deer, can't argue with that.
If that was Byron Ferguson shooting nobody would have said a thing....why? Because he can make those shots just like you and I make 20 yard shots.
I was just trying to let everyone know that all that video was for, was to try to get some un-informed, un-knowning newbie bow hunter to buy that bow thinking it would allow them to shoot and kill deer at 100+ yards. That to me is way more unethical than the guy in the video making the shot.
You want to show the world your bow is the fastest thing around, fine promote in a way that most bow hunters can relate. Say it will allow you to use only one pin for normal nunting ranges, say it will help with slight yardage miss judgements in normal (30yds and under) hunting ranges, hell say you can thumb you nose at the BowTech guys and tell them you have the fastet bow in town. Just don't go out and try to make everyone believe this thing will allow you to start shooting deer at 100 yards......Irresponsible is what it is![:@]
