couldnt even imagine that. I can usually break 48-50 outta 50 w/ a gun, I doubt i could hit any w/ a bow.

That said I have shot at hand thrown paper plates w/ a 60% hit rate. Next time i set up our trap thrower i'll try it... BTW I use a recurve forthese typeshots.

Byron Ferguson. I've seen him do it. He also hits an arial target while standing on the back of a moving pick up truck in his video "Become the Arrow". He shot a dish ( six inch) thrown up n the air with Osama's face painted on it on the Leno show. List goes on and on.

Also John Shultz's (John was a student and friend of Howard Hill) son (he was about 13 years old) shoots dimes on the video Hitting them Like Howard.

There are also many other that can do this.

Yea...if i remember correctly he only missed 3 times before hitting that aspirin. Simply amazing. I've seen another one where he shots his bow with his foot like a crossbow out to 60 yards. I really want to see him in person sometime.

Met him at the IA DEER CLASSIC. He was selling his book, Become the Arrow. Like a dumbarse, I didn't buy it. Wish I had and had him sign it.
