longest shot?

[RadSav]

Yes, some folks get a little juiced even at 20, in fact maybe even more so.  That's the whole point of gettin' close.

While I agree in many aspects. I also believe to acquire complete appreciation for the bow you have to see an arrow in the totality of it's flight.  Whether small game or paper is the ultimate game of chase in long range archery is up to the individual.  However, a destination makes all things greater in the beauty and grace of a well tuned arrow as it rises to heavens and falls to earth. 


Probably the greatest words written on the flight of an arrow;

"The flight of an arrow is symbolic of life itself.
It springs from the bow with high aim, flies toward
the blue heavens above, and seems to have immortal
power.  The song of it's flight is sweet to the ear.
The rush of it's upward arc is a promise of perpetual
progress.  With perfect grace it sweeps onward, though
less inspiring.  Then fluttering imperceptibly, it points
downward and with ever increasing speed, approaches
the earth, where, with a deep sigh, it sinks in the soil,
quivers with spent energy and capitulates to the inevitable."
--- Saxon Pope


If that doesn't move you...you're too close

I wonder if he was thinking of arrows traveling at 350 fps with FOBs on them when he wrote that?

I did shoot an elk once at what I guest to be 80 yards.  The elk already had an arrow in it from a fellow hunter and 80 yards is not in their comfort zone so I was given the green light to put another arrow in her.

Feeling sporty with my recurve at 140yds, I put one right in the earth. Killed it dead! Blacktail doe at 10yds.

I scored a 21 on big foot in Redding for nationals a few years back 101 yards does that count for anything?

1,512.  Went 20 yards after that and dropped dead. That was with the bow.... You were talking inches, right? My closest was about a foot away( 12) if we're still on the inches thing.

200 yards

200 yards

Those arrows are awful flat for 200 yards.  Must have been an uphill shot  

I don't know if my bow shoots that far.  Dangit, now I have to go find out

[mountainman]

A shoot i put on at the Loup Loup Ski Hill memorial weekend! Yes, uphill!
