RE: Cool Video! 74 yd. shot on a bear
 

Definitely not a shot I would have considered. Bear started heading back for the woods before the arrow got there.

Not to smart at all. Does any one think he looks like the Brian from the tv series T.A.P.S. (ghost hunters) ? :Dor is it just me :eek:

i question wether or not that arrow "passed right through".

Well I'm not gonna criticize this guy... If he's good enough to make the shot, then why not take it? Now, if he wasn't sure if he could make that, then thats a different story; it'd be poor judgement to attempt a shot that you aren't sure of. He killed the bear, didn't he? He also hit it in the vitals. I'm new to bowhunting, but I'm gonna stick with my opinion. If you're good enough to take a bear at 74 yds, do it. If you're good enough to take an elk at 834 yds with your rifle, then why not take the shot? Just my 2 cents.

I agree. The shot should not have been made. Ridiculous.

I couldnt have either. Hunters like that just keep the fires burning.

[blockquote]I agree with just about everything Rob has to say. This is no exception. The guy said it was a marginal shot . He knew it was a bad decision. The bear turned into the shot as it was heading for the woods. What would have happened if he didn't turn before the arrow got there? That was the most rediculous thing I have seen filmed, not to mention bragged about.[/blockquote]

RE: Cool Video! 74 yd. shot on a bear
 

I agree, that shot should not have been taken. Looks like he is only using a 3 pin sight and I'd behe probably doesn't have a pin after 50 yards. That leaves even more guess work on an already marginal shot.

RE: Cool Video! 74 yd. shot on a bear
 

should never take that shot....if you cant get closer to the animal just dont let arrows fly and pray that it will find its target.

RE: Cool Video! 74 yd. shot on a bear
 

In response to hardcorehunter's comments. I have often wondered if an animal such as this bear or a deer have faster reaction times than do we humans? I guess my question is does the physiology of an animal permit it to react faster to a stimulus than a human under the same conditions? Do neurons travel faster in animals which allow them to have a quicker reaction?
Maybe too deep fordiscussion here but it seems to me that if I was walking along in the woods with no idea that anyoneelse was around that I would not be able to react to the sound of a bow shot as quickly as a deer under those circumstances.
I must be spending too much idle time thinking in my tree stand.
