The Challenge

Hi guys,

I thought a few of you may like this one...

Made me want to go hunting.... Not that I need any encouragement :biggrin:

Cheers Guy

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

This one has been posted before Guy. It was excellent except for where, after a big build up, he stuffs up the shot at the deer. That ruined the whole video for me. Surely they could have used better hunting footage then that.

Hi Jeff,

It was hard for me to tell from my little iphone...

Looks like he may have missed high and right...?

It didn't need any shots at game for me to enjoy... :biggrin:

I enjoyed the footage also but it was just the fact that the video built up to the moment of the shot at the deer. Also the fella really honed in on how he had changed to Trad equipment and had practiced a lot, shot thousands of arrows and he knew he could shoot accurately etc etc and then he shot to the right of where he was obviously aiming. My point was if you are going to go into so much detail about how good you are and build things up so much, you think you would show a shot where you hit where you were aiming. For me, that is what ruined what was otherwise a great video.

Thankfully the deer did dodge the arra otherwise it would have been a neck shot. The arra either missed completely or just got a flesh wound. I have a 27" screen and it was hard to tell even with that.
