A spooked buck looking directly at the hunter... What do I think about a shot like that on a video? Frankly, that kind of crap is why I don' t watch hunting videos very much. Always some clown bending ethics (assuming they have any) to put an animal on the ground.

In this case, it' s a shot I wouldn' t even attempt because of the absolute certainty the buck would jump the string. Of course, I' M NOT GETTING PAID TO PUT KILL SHOTS ON VIDEO, nor am I in a survival situation where I must kill the animal in order to live. So, I can exercise a good bit of reason in what shot opportunities I take.

This deer in question was a guaranteed string jumper. What the ' hunter' did was pick that low aim point, sucked up his BVD' s in a major pucker, and pulled the trigger, just hoping for the best. He got lucky and the deer jumped into the arrow. Yep. That' s just what everybody needs to be doing, isn' t it. [:@]

So far, looking at all your points in favor of speed, one would get the idea that all you' ve basically said is you want to shoot at long range and at deer looking directly at you, and speed will give you a chance. I don' t think you' ll get enough speed to make it work. You need a gun.

How about just moving in closer and taking shots at relaxed animals? You know, actually BOWHUNTING.
