Default whatcha think about Ted Nugents shooting?

I love the nuge but He does`nt use sights,I saw him miss a nice buck from point blank range,prolly 15 feet,I`m a big pusher of the "practice from long ranges" deal so it`s a little aggitating to watch a bowhunter miss from 5 yards.
I love what he stands for and the time and effort he puts into our freedom but I really wish he would spend more time browsing over some sights.
Any compound shooters here not using sights?
I`m sure there are even some recurve and longbow shooters here that use sights,I don`t have them on my Damon Howat recurve but I dont hunt with it iether.

He's an average shooter at best. He huntes HF and/or his own compound (which is also HF, BTW). The deer on his property are tame to humans, that's how he is able to walk right up on them.

That said- he is a great advocate for our hunting rights. I don't see anyone getting up in the anti's faces the same way Ted does or with the same vigor.

I remember when he was on MTV cribs and he missed a deer on his indoor target range. Sights are helpful and I think people owe it to the deer to ensure a more accurate chance of making a vital shot.

how do you know his deer are tame to humans.
i saw the guy shoot a deer at 80 yards walking down a trail with no sights. to me that is a great shooter.

All those chicks in Playboy are airbrushed, too. They really look like Rosie O. before the wand gets ahold of them.

Well....that's what my wife said.

He is a terrible shot and I hate it when he makes a shot on TV and turns to the camera and says how perfect it was. Does he think I am stupid? I know where the heart and lungs are on a deer, as well as the shoulder blade. I know he does a lot for our sport, but IMO, he could do it a lot better job than what he does. He does a great job with his children's programs, but being a touch more tactful would go a lot further in helping to educate the non-hunting population. Okay, so that was all off point, he is a terrible shot!

With a bow I have never missed a deer in 20 years of bowhunting,I did brisket shoot one that bleed alot and got away but that with a recurve with no sights from 20 yards.
I`m no champion but I think if you bowhunt you should be a sniper.

Because I was on his compound for 10 days as part of the crew that shot the Reality TV show that he hosted. I personally walked up to deer & they fed out of my hand. Other crew members thought it was cool. I thought it was sad.
