Hunting & Fishing So you think you can shoot a Bow

Re: So you think you can shoot a Bow

Wow.... and I thought I was good. This kid makes me feel like a true novice. Now I don't feel so comfortable with my skills, I guess I am going to have to step it up. Thanks for the video find.

Just goes to show what REAL dedication to something you love can produce!! More power to him!!

I am a pretty good shot... but NOTHING like that has ever come from my bow. For that matter, not much even from a shotgun.

I probably don't have to say this, but please make sure you have a safe area to do this in. I remember when we first started getting into archery, my dad let his friend shoot his bow. This guy was massive and couldn't pull back a 65lb bow, he gave up just before the let off point, accidentally loosed the arrow and it flew a good 500 yards into a field where some people were picking up trash from the desert. When we found the arrow it was only 20 yards away from a group of two people who were completly clueless as to what had transpired.

Something much worse could've happened, but we got extremely lucky that day. From there on out we checked our backdrop every time before shooting anything.

My biggest regret is not telling the man he needed to keep his bow hand outstretched and on target while drawing back.
