RE: 103yd with Bow & Arrow in the wind??
 

I'm not going to comment on if this shot is ethical or not only to say: To some a 100 yard shot is very easy and is done all the time.

That being said I think Grandviewer has nailed it. If you guys can't see that this is simply part of PSE's on going campaign to promote there new "speed bow"you need to pull your heads out. I also think this video was edited a lot! The truth is we have no idea how far that shot was, but I can say this is certain......there area lot of young hunters out there thinking to themselves "Hey ifI buy that bow I can make them 100yd shots too" and THAT'S the realsad part of this.:(

Very true lol. He is amazing.

RE: 103yd with Bow & Arrow in the wind??
 

I am not going to comment on whether it is ethical or not,that is his buisness and not mine.


BUT,the video is definately edited(which most are).He is in no way pulling back to take a 100 yard shot.You aim higher than he is when shooting that far,I have done it many times.Even at 350 fps.

So it is evident to me it is just a promotional stunt and he may never have even come close to taking a 100 yard shot,which the deer doesn't look that far to me but who knows with video equipment.


My last point or question really.Am I the only one who thinks he made a bad shot? Usually when a deer kicks up in the back,like this one did,they were gut shot.It might be because it was slightly angled away and he had to shoot back to make it but it sure looked like a gut shot to me.:eek:

RE: 103yd with Bow & Arrow in the wind??
 

The high rear leg kick, in my experience, has always been a heart shot. When I have gut shot deer, they have humped up. But that's me.....

RE: 103yd with Bow & Arrow in the wind??
 

I have never had one kick when shot in the heart but the majority of my shots are double lungers.[8D]


Ihave seen several shot with a gun in the guts that kicked like this.


You are definately right about them humping up in the midlle.


Maybe you are right.Maybe it was a heart shot.

I noticed that first about his shot too T.
Besides that ,WHO has a 100 yrd pin set on any hunt. He would have had to practice that shot a ton to make it , and that bow is supposed to be new. I don't think he could have had time to get that comfortable w/ the bow to take a 100 yarder on the fly.

RE: 103yd with Bow & Arrow in the wind??
 

I wouldnt bet against Petey on a 100 yarder, but this was an edit folks. :)

RE: 103yd with Bow & Arrow in the wind??
 

And this was exactly my point. Somebody else is going to be trying to shoot a deer at this ridiculous distance and if they are lucky, they might wound it. But more than likely, totally miss it.

Lots of iffy things about the video, I just know that on top of the fact that it seems like an unethical shot to be attempting, I am amazed that a bow with such a short brace-height is the bow one would choose to be out attempting long shots like that, as the forgiveness rating on that thing has got to be LOW!!!!

RE: 103yd with Bow & Arrow in the wind??
 

You don't think thats already being projected ?

How many pins comes with your favorite site ? How fast is your bow ? How light are your carbons ? FLYS LIKE FIELD POINTS _ how often is that used to market a product ?

Compound are designed and markets around SPEED and ACCURACY.

Also, you need look no further than most posts on western forums and western big game hunts where people think they have to shoot farther becuase they're "out west" - thats a huge misconception.

no, the whole drive of the compound industry is to create bows that shoot faster, flatter, with less practice than they use to. Quiet has become the fad of late too.

Has anyone seen the old footage of Ben Pearson shooting the Javelina at what they say on the movie is 3 city blocks away? He was up on the cliff and the Javelina is way down in the draw. And he smokes it!!
