Default Worst shot ever!

Did anyone see on the outdoor channel(todays bowhunter I think), the shot the first hunter took.

He had a buck come in, wind him. The deer stopped 35-40 yrds quartering towards him. He shoots and the arrow goes over the deers head about a foot, almost between his antlers. NOT EVEN CLOSE!

Then he says that 1#. the deer jumped the string.(which it did not) 2# that 35 or so yards is a little out of his range.

I don't like to rag on other hunters but come on. This portrayed harvesting a deer with a bow as being impossibly hard. My G/F asked if many people miss like that. I told her that only people that are dumb enough to attempt the shot miss it. One more-- even if he would of hit the deer , it would of been a long range shoulder shot(no penetration), or a shot in the guts.

Had to rant, this P'ed me off.

good luck everybody!
