i have a confession

[coachcw]

Maybe with parts of it exploding.   how fast is that thing anyway?

the insanity at 70 lbs and 30 inch pushes my 420 grain arrow 322fps and the cpxl is 310, the experience wash like 314. real world speeds through the chrono. my buddys  carbon matrix shot his arrow 277 at 60lbs and the 60lb insanity was 301.

Was your flashlight securely attached to your stabilizer?  If not that could throw your arrow off.

Dude .. cure of the earth divided by 2 x pi(3.14) accurate point of aim . Say 150 yards hold 100 yard pin on target see where 40 pin is hold 100 pin where forty was thus adding 10 yards for deceleration and arrow drag . Impact point in the pocket = dead deer !

  Bobcat crunched those numbers for you didn't he?

Dude .. curve of the earth divided by 2 x pi(3.14) accurate point of aim . Say 150 yards hold 100 yard pin on target see where 40 pin is hold 100 pin where forty was thus adding 10 yards for deceleration and arrow drag . Impact point in the pocket = dead deer !

I missed a deer on Saturday   long shot range finder said 60 yards but I thought that looks like a long 60 to me.  I put 60 pin right on her and let it go watched as arrow as it just fell short.  Found my arrow no blood clean miss it was laying right in the bed where she was standing.  I had my cousin walk back to where I shot from used range finder again this time it said 72 yards I guess I must have picked up some brush the first time I ranged the deer.  I'm blaming this one on Bushnell.

Shoulda had a vortex

I need to see the spreadsheet.  I think there is a pivot table that is off.

I have a short draw coach I can never shoot those speeds with a hunt legal arrow.

[Todd_ID]

Don't worry about it D-Rock.  If all of us on here were to confess to all of our misses, then there'd be no one left to look up to that was perfect.  I missed 3 different bulls in one day one time in Idaho.... not many can say that!  (But I've got great excuses/reasons for all 3.  )

all the more reason for the insanity !

I can't do it and here is the honest reason why.  I shoot a ton of archery shoots throughout the year and I've seen more bowtechs leave the course broken than any other bow company I have price of mind my hoyt will finish the job and that means everything to me.  I've had broken bows in the past on hunting trips (back in my high country archery days) it sucks.

[Come Get Some]

What is the longest bow kill people have done or witnessed?  I saw a friend take one at 73 yards, punch it right it vitals.  I personally could not take it but this guy shoots daily and is good.  Let's don't get into the ethics converstaion, that has been beaten to death on other threads.

 We have done a ton of 3D shoots over the last 20 years. There used to be a good shoot by MT Clemons archery club called pine creek. They had a novelty shoot that was an antelope at 124 yds with a black dot on it. My wife won it almost everytime. The bottom of her sight was perfect for the shot.

  I watched her head shoot a deer that was peaking out from behind a stump at exactly 124 yds. I almost fell over.

  I know you will say SURE or not ethical.
 Not a shot that would be taken lightly. The only availabe shot was the head shot. It would either be a hit or a miss. Also witnessed by three others

Lots of deer and elk have been seen running around with an arrow sticking out of their head because of someone thinking it was a "hit or miss shot".I just dont want to see some new bowhunter read about head shots being hit or miss and think it is ok .
