AZHUNTERRENT4 Report post Posted January 4, 2011 I just started bow hunting in jan. 2010, and was successful the last day, last hour. It was a spike but for me, a kill with my bow is just AWESOME!!!!!! I'm more of a meat hunter than a deer with big antlers. Big antlers ain't bad though. Anyway, my shot was uphill at 80 yards, and the rage did the rest. I know, I know long shot but I pratice hard all the time, LITERALLY!!!!!!

rigutierrez Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Congratulations on the long shot. You do have an advantage...I envy right now. I passed on a 60 yard shot today. I was confident going outside to my target and sending an arrow 60 yards but apparently I did not feel comfortable taking the shot at the deer. My first year at Archery Hopefully with some ( and I mean a lot) practice. I will be confident in taking that 8o yard shot next year. Congratulation again!

cw4192 Report post Posted January 5, 2011 congrat's. and we will continue to find gut shot animals year in and year out. but those who practice congrats. no different than rifle hunters who fling lead at 600 plus yards. maybe one day we can hunt with a .50 cal and a bow that shoots 200 yards. and a muzzle loader that is good for 500 yards. tags will be impossible to get.

donniedent Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Are you really going to start that?? Really? Congrats on the buck man. You are going to hear this kind of garbage because people just can't help themselves. 80 yds. is out there a ways and there aren't a whole lot of people who can do it but the point is that your shot found its home and the deer is dead, plain and simple. You worked hard for it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are plenty of animals gut shot that aren't from a long range shot, whether it be rifle or bow. However, you must be perfect, so I applaud you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rugermack Report post Posted January 5, 2011 Congrats on your deer. Everyone has thier limitations, as long as everyone knows them. All comes down to practice and what you are comfortible with. Better equipement doesn't hurt either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
