90 yard bow kill on a cow

[FC]

You just stay within your comfort zone and leave others to theirs. 

I'll do just that, you have shown everyone here what you are and how little respect you have for the animals that we hunt, you disgust me.

Very unethical and one of the problems archery is suffering from.  If (a big if) his arrow is traveling at 300fps it will take .9 seconds for the arrow to travel the 90 yards.  A hec of a lot can go wrong in .9 seconds.  Considering we have not factored in acceleration or deceleration it is more likely greater than 1 second.  Simply an irresponsible and arrogant move from someone who clearly does not respect the animal or the method!   

You really need a new hobby or a break from the key board you have entirely too much time on your hands. I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair! REALLY!!  Come on! The last time I fell out of my chair is when Coachcw posted his 371 bull, that's 3 times this month.

You still have not explained what is so funny as FC requested?  How is it I have to much time on my hands?  Please explain how this shot is ethical?

Just let us know where you hunt, and we will stay clear of the dead animals,,,rotting!

Da, da, da ...Drama!

Was he using lumenocks? I heard you can shoot an extra 50 yards with them.. .....

Yes, with a crossbow.

With a flashlight attached.

Of course, how else could he make such a shot in the black of night? I loved it when Maglite came out with the plastic clip on plate for the minimag so you could hold it with your lips or teeth. My mule deer success rate at night went off the charts since I was able to illuminate and use both hands while mounting my suppressor and working the bolt in the black of night.

Yeah iT all depends on the person ...my longest shot was @ 70 yrds and foggy .....never heard the arrow hit but the elk took off hard to the left ...so I waited about 25 min or so walked out there and blood everywhere ...went about 60 yrds and there he layed ... it was awesome to see him laying there !!!no doubt the bows now are definately capable of doing it 

Just think if you would have had a better broad head he only would have went 30 yards.

BOWHUNTER45 I am dissapointed in you.  You made up like 3 different posts talking about how awesome your broadhead is and then I talk sheet about it and I didnt' even get a response from you.  Man I must be losing my touch.    

Wasp's SUCK.  Slick Tricks RULE!!!

Howard Hill could shoot a bow amazingly well, but could not control an animal to make sure it was still in the same place a second later when the arrow arrived.  There are some stories about the "good old boys" crippling plenty of animals with their long range shooting.  Even in "hunting the hard way" they mention some screwed shots. 

Long shots are irresponsible and take away from the actual hunting experience.  Anyone can learn to make a long shot, learning to hunt is far more difficult.

Howard Hill could do it all day long w/a 100lb long bow.

Well, Hill's dead and there aren't any more Howard Hills. We've had this discussion many times. It's all about what happens in the whole second between the time the arrow leaves and arrives in a 90 yard shot. An animal can move a whole body length or more in a second. He was damned lucky and I bet for every one elk killed at 90 yards, 4 or 5 are wounded, and through no fault of the hunter, even with perfect form and practice. I personally think a 90 yard shot is selfish and irresponsible. This guy admits that this was beyond his farthest pin, so it's clear he hasn't been target shooting to 90.

Sure, and a 747 could drop out of the sky on your arse at the same time.. LMAO!

[WAcoyotehunter]

  huh?

[wraithen]

He's stating that COULD doesn't have any real bearing on anything. Crazy things CAN happen but usually don't.

[WAcoyotehunter]

crazy things like an animal taking a step at the sound of a string? That's not so far fetched- I've had elk dodge at the string at 25 yds... 90 yard shots are inappropriate on account of the odds being so much higher of crippling an animal.   

[wraithen]

For the record I am in the camp that it was an unethical shot. Not because it was a far shot and the elk could've moved but purely by the glaring statement that he admitted it was 10 yards farther than he is familiar with. If his farthest pin was 100 I prolly woulda never posted anything on this thread. It's like a guy shooting a rifle at an elk 500 yards away when he doesn't practice farther than 300.
