BigJ12 enjoy it while you can
I expect bowhunters to take shots they full well know they can make - THAT is what makes an ethical hunter, isn't it ? If you can make the shot, take it. He did, he made it.
Yes - its qutie simply as easy as that.
If anyone wants to question it ? Hey, he was out there to kill an animal, and he did it. 2 yards, 103 yards, crosswind, no wind .......... he had a fricking compound that could make the shot, he was fully capable of making it and he did it.
Use to, I'd probably have chapped him for it. No longer ........ it was his shot, he took it. Leave it at that. Its not the highest % shot in the world in my book, but he's 1 for 1 to my knowledge,shooting 100% success rate.
Hard to argue that, isn't it ?

What I didn't likewas the overtone of the whole "video" in thatthey would like everyone to believe that if you buy thatBOWyou toocan make thatshot when in reality it's the archer who makes the shot. All you need to do is listen to the last lines when the guy holding the arrow says "The X-force did the job"
It is funny though hearing the archer say"He didn't gofar with that arrow in him.....that's abig broadhead" Yet when he is drawing back the bow for the shot I don't ANY broadhead at all.
Again, it's just a very sad way to try andpublicize a bow.

looks like a mechanical broadhead to me ... so yeah, it might have been a big cutting diameter.

That was just a side note to what I was saying anyway.

Won't here an argue from me. I don't have a problem with the shot (if indeed it was a 103yd shot) if the archer is capable of doing it. For all I know that guy is a very accomplished and accurate archer/hunter at those distances.

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.

Doug,
I was over at his house the other day and saw a copy of it. Looks like it might be pretty good. Read the article in the latest Peterson's about his bout with cancer during last deer season. It will open your eyes. For someone who has been able to go on many hunting trips through out every deer season. Then all of a sudden not be able to do what you love to do sucks. It was a hard season for him. I'm not looking forward to getting older!

Darrall,
As a nurse, I see all too much of it. Often times you see things that make you think "Life really isn't fair!!!" I saw the article, a humbling thing, that's for sure. It makes us appreciate everyday we have even more. The book sounds like a must have, I need to see if I can get a copy.

Even my wife realizes that was an extremely low % shot and should never have been taken.

Most all my deer have been double lung and I have NEVER had one kick like this.I also don't recall seeing many on video doing it either tha I knew were double lung.Not saying you are not right,just saying it hasn't been my experience.
no way man. You see a deer kick out like that 99% of the time it's lungs.
