Im gonna need a few more details on this one, like how fast is he running, the speed of your arrow, from a treestand or groundblind, windy or calm. But seriously you should never shoot at a running deer at more than 40 yrds.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Matt distance is not important on running deer, you just swing through them and release when you see an opening through the brush!!
Like a few others when I first saw the topic, well I won't put the exact thoughts that ran through my mind, but they were not nice, then I saw it was you that posted it and knew it was a joke.

i saw the topic and could not believe that some one would set themself up for the slam that was about to fall on them.
So, yes you got me also. do you need some help gathering firewood i have a bow and a chainsaw and am willing to follow you up there.

When I saw it was you, Matt, I thought you must have some moving 3-D target. Which would be kind of fun, I must say...

Just remember to aim at the <u>sound.</u> The actual distance is unimportant as long as you try to limit yourself to no more than 100 yards!! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
As soon as I saw who it was, I knew what it was gonna be! Good one Matt. Have a great Christmas.
