What a sad display of a "hunter", reguardless of his shooting skills.[:@]Like OHhntr said, "it's all in the editing". A 103yrd shot, I don't think so.

I didnt say that its a rule, I said that bowhunting is fooling a deer into a close shot for a ethical kill, not shooting a deerat gun range with a bow. If he or anyone wants to take a shot like that, fine, but the next time you do you may not be so lucky.

i think it was atleast 100 yards or more...time the arrow upon hearing the release to when you see the deer jump...deduct maybe 1 second (slow human reactions and the reaction of the deer) and your at about 1.4 or so...300 ft, 1.4 seconds..looks like a fast bow...should be about right...

as for taking the shot i would not have, but i know many people who can shoot that far and make decent groups...think everyone was way to quick to judge the person...unless you know him...as for me i don't and would probably give him benefit of the doubt..

No, I don't think we were way to quick to judge at all. The guy took a LONG shot at a moving animal in WINDY conditions!!! Sure the shot we see on video worked out, but how many shots did he take to get that perfect shot??? Was it really 103 yds??? or was the tape slowed down to make the shot seem like it took longer to get there??? Lots of variables, but if he took a 103yd shot at a moving animal in those windy conditions (look at the brush moving, and listen to the sound byte) he's got some ethics issues, or doesn't respect the animal.

I agree

EDITED![8D]

I've watched target shooters take longer shots than 100 yards with slower bows and the arrows is on target in a blink or even less time and accurate. Now why is that so different than this. It doesn't surprise me at all.

On the other hand that sure sounds like and looks like Ole Pete Shepleyowner of PSE to me. And what TV show isn't edited. Get real.

Think about it, 100 yrds is end zone to end zone on a football field[&:]then add 3 more.

Hmm ethical kill you say. He shot once, and killed the deer he was aiming at. I didn't see the question posed of would you do this? Most wouldn't, but he did and was obviously successful. Who are we to judge? Sure you can always say how many times did he miss or wound game?

Ask this, how many of "our" successful hunters from this year or any given year wound game on "more ethical" shots. I can guarantee most don't post about the bad hits. They know the bashing that would come.

I guess I'm just not as quick to say it was a bad shot..the result says differently.

LOL, GR8!! I DID!! And I took my licks (I still remember the date, BTW). If I wound one next time out I'll post it. It won't be from that distance, though.

BTW....I'm still crazy 'bout you.....
