Met Byron Ferguson yesterday
 

Seems like a cool guy...............he asked me what Bowtech I shot because I had my hat on........I know he is a traditional guy right?? We just chatted in general for a minute while I checked out some arrows he had layed out.........nice guy.

Last year I ran into Chuck Adams and didn't realize who I was talking to until I read his name on his shirt [:o].........I think he was happy to talk to someone as a regular guy and not as "Chuck"

I love outdoors shows.

I honestly dont know what he's on, but I want some of it. That guy can SHOOT. He shot an aspirin out of the air! Ofcourse it may have been from 5 yards, and may have taken 100 takes, but still. That is awesome.

RE: Met Byron Ferguson yesterday
 

Did you see the man shoot a baloon at 100 yards.

i saw that aspirin shot on tv....[:-]:D wow

RE: Met Byron Ferguson yesterday
 

What about the shots where he deflects the arrows off of boards then pop the balloons. Another way, being driven, standing in the back of a pick-up truck and picking off foam disc flung into the air.

I remember him shooting a clay pigeon out of the air. When it showed the shot from back a little ways, the pigeon shattered, but they showed a "close up" of the shot, and it only busted the center out of it. The shots are not always what it shows.

Meaning what??........They are faked??

I honestly don't know what you mean........I have only seen the aspirin shot and they showed it in slow motion......it looked pretty real to me. May have been take 200 but still pretty neat.

RE: Met Byron Ferguson yesterday
 

I never said they were fake. Im not totally sure what I meant, either. The guy is an awesome shot. I was just saying the shots are not exactly the same from "shot to shot". Im positive his shots are totally 100% real.

RE: Met Byron Ferguson yesterday
 

Maybe they just edit the stuff together.........I have never seen the shot you mentioned so I was just wondering.

Byron performed at the Baltimore Bowmen Traditional shoot (held every May) last year. He gave an impressive demonstration. He started out shooting at stationary targets from awkward angles, such as twisting 180 degrees from the waist while holding his bow sideways. Then he moved to aerial targets, which his wife threw. The first aerial targets he shot were large blocks of foam. As his show progressed, the aerials became smaller and smaller, until he was shooting washers, then an aspirin from the air. (The aspirin took 2 or 3 tries, I believe.) Here is one of his aerial shots.
