Looks like he killed it to me. I don't know his level of skill to be able to judge him. Byron Ferguson can shoot an aspirin in mid-air at 100 yds with a mirror held up and shooting the bow behind his back, after the arrow is deflected off of a bottle opener that just opened a bottle of coke and poured it in a glass; allwhile a hot supermodel sits on his lap. Well, I lied about the hot supermodel part.

Me either MC. I know that Dan Evans, who invented the Trophy Taker drop away, practices regularlyat 100 yds. I have read that hecan hittight groups at this range and likes being able to do thisfor a followup shot, if the opportunity presents itself. Different people have different skill levels. Hell, some people have no business shooting a deer at 20 yds because of their skill level.

That is why they make bows that shoot 350 fps........like it or not......right or wrong. You don't think we really need WSSM to shoot a deer do ya? They make cars and motorcycles that go 150 mph for a reason. There will always be a market for those who want to push the envelope.

Hardcore,
I agree! Some people can shoot tight groups at long distances and yes they can kill at those distances. I still believe that every situation is different.And most of the time shouldn't be taken.I havea moviemy dad made for Ben Pearson back in the 60's. He shoots a Moose at 60 yards with a recurve loads another arrow and shoots it again at 70 yards. Both shots were perfect. Some guys just have talent and luck doesn't hurt either.

I have a hard time buying the distance, in a hard wind .... wind is so unpredictable ... plus the deer was moving ... coulda got a lucky shot, but I would be dead set against taking the shot under ANY circumstances ... but that's me

Oh I agree this wasn't a good shot with the conditions. Even if it was only 40 yards. I really don't think it was a 103 yard shot. It didn't take the arrow very long to get there.
