That is cool,   I had to do that on my mule deer last year as his chest was behind a tree for what seemed like forever.  I had to actually grab my shirt collar to hold, if I would of let down he would of been gone for sure.  Thanks for posting, cool video.

Awesome video. Wondering how long he was holding before the footage started? Smoked that bull though.

Thats where practice and training comes in. Nothing like pulling to much weight and not being able to do that :chuckle:

That was a good video to watch, now I know something to practice doing. I've been focusing on getting off a fast shot after the draw, but holding a shot for a long while seems like something a lot of you've experienced.

This is one reason old guys shoot 60 lb bows.....12 lbs at full draw
Wish I could earn a living hunting!
