RE: 80 yard shot!
 

I shoot at 80 yards every 2/3 days. I goup around 6 to 8 in with steel force 125 gr,on 29 in 75/95 goldtip arrows .With my mathews safari set at 94 #.I am an avrage shooter in my eyes.I allso make misstakes and will miss the hole target at 20 yards [2 times in few weeks]. I think most people can shoot this far if they know how far it is and have a pin for that range.

I do not shoot this far to kill big game. The farthest shot I have taken is 28 yards.

hey, I hunt ottertail county (minnesota) sometimes. My parents have a cabin on star lake. There's some state land by dead lake that I've hunted a few times. I'm heading up there over labor day to do some scouting.

anyway, 80 yards is crazy.

I'm afraid Jared Kimmel came along a bit after my time. I'm more in the Bob Ragsdale era.;)

16 year olds are prone to exaggerate - that is if I remember my high school years correctly :eek:

I'm sure it is possible but don't ask me to do it. Just a touch out of my range.;)

Question: Does it sound like B.S. to you because he looked to be about 16 or because of the distance/skill required?

RE: 80 yard shot!
 

In my neck of the woods there aren't any 80 yard open areas to take such shots....;)...

...and I don't mean while deer hunting either.

:)

I doubt it though I try to keep an open mind.

That sounds like a real eye crosser to shoot like that. I was out last week shooting against my buddie at 40 yards, and he put one in the bulls eye, I did the same thing and drilled my arrow dead center into his. I was extatic! Then I hear about this 80 yard stuff, I suppose it is quite possible if you take your time.
