RE: Another T.V. Show Mistake!!!

You know, really, George can take that shot and pull it off just a regularly as I can take a 30 yarder, maybe better. Heck, George can shoot bottle caps at 60 yards all day under the most extreme pressure and concentration of tournaments without missing a beat. If he feels he can do it..... good for him. Have at it. BUT.... I will tell 99.99% of the world to "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT".... because that shot is probably going to go bad before it ever becomes good. I would prefer they don't give all the newbies and the non-bowhunting world the idea this is a thing we do regularly or ever even try. I'd prefer they stick to dots and X's to show off their talents... but, someone wanted them in a hunting video.

Well said Davidmil, there in lies the problem....if he can do it, good for him but it probably shouldn't have been aired for the "joe bowhunter" to think it's alright to do. They could have simply not mentioned the yardage and by the TV, we wouldn't know the difference. But knowing Winkleman's shows, he isn't much of a hunter from what I've seen IMHO and perhaps between them, they didn't have the talent to get closer.
I practiced to 70 yards prior to my bull elk hunt. I was 12 ringing a McKenzie with Muzzy broadheads but a bull elk isn't a McKenzie and I doubt I would have taken it even with my rangefinder. The practice made closer shots easier to take....but had I taken more than my 33 yard kill, like 70 yards, it wouldn't have been aired for the world to see.
