I'm not downplaying his achievements... That guy could outshoot me in his sleep after a cocaine overdose! Just seems weird shooting a bull seal. If you have ever seen video on one all they do is hang out on the beach!

"M-O-O-N" that spells that William Tell would smoke Robin Hood. Anyone that can shoot an apple off of someones head at 25 paces is pretty good, and apparently has some dumb friends. ;)

Question is would he? The guy was an actor, what do you think? I can say this, he wouldn't be here. He wouldn’t take the grief he would surely have gotten for a lot of the shots he took or the big bows ("No one needs to shot that poundage. You must have some "man" issues") .:D

Different time. Great reads! Independent thinker!

Made some great shots, butkeep this in mind,he slung arrows by the hundreds when he hunted and if I remember right he was happy with hitting something 1 out of four times. A 25% success rate. I can't remember the context in which this was said and know he was much better than that. Still when I read it I laughed out loud and immediately thought of how that would be received on forums today.

You can tell he hunted in a different era! Shooting eagles with a bow might be frowned upon now. I also doubt taking down a bull seal (though large) would be so difficult.
Killing a seal might not be hard, but I can imagine finding it would be.....

Blood trails underwater?

Robin Hood (Howard Hill) and Fred Bear are the reasons I am an Archer/ Bowhunter today!

If you come across whatever you read, let me know. :D

Here is what I think (Buffalo Hunt): I don't believe he was acting or being filmed when he rode an Indian Pony bareback, dodgedthe Alpha Heard Buffalo challenging him head on, took a quality wild free roaming Buffalo in Wyoming all the while going full speed (his Pony and the Buffalo)shooting his longbowand takingonly oneshot.;)
