i have a confession

[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 .

  Agreed, It is not something I would like to see most bowhunters try. Most are not effective to over 40 yds. It was over 20 years ago.  And not repeated. But was a good shot. She actually said she was going to hit it in the neck at the base of the skull. That is exactly where she hit it. Breaking the neck and cutting the jugular.

A lot of guys and gals practice out to 150 yards. Makes your standard 40 yarders that much easier. With the equipment these days, in the right situations, 100 yard shots can easily be lethal with proper training.
