Unimaginable 120 yard shot on bull

[Where's Bruce?]

I cannot imagine taking this shot but I guess those who do have the well-practiced skill and confidence to pull it off. It's just an amazing thing. The arc on that arrow...holy FN cow! Start at the 22 minute mark.

That’s Tim Wells right…?

Yes it is

The man-the legend.

Some people have incredible ability with a bow. Tim Wells proves it over and over. Howard Hill was like that, too.

The video of Tim Wells killing that Cape Buffalo with a spear while it’s bedded down…… some Chuck Norris kinda level of hunting. Absolutely epic

Tim Wells is a different breed. Fears nothing.

Full rigor and barely able to move the neck when recovered. I’d like to know the % of meat loss, I’d bet it was high

Valid Point indeed…..But I’ve seen rigor set in on bulls farely quickly after death with no meat loss.

Is that really an Oneida Chicken Choker he’s shooting???

They left it over night.

Furthest bull I’ve taken with bow was at 95 yds. Furthest animal taken was a pronghorn at 105. Regularly practice out to 125 yds. Todays technology and sliding pins open up a whole new world of possibilities. Just need a well tuned bow and know your gear.

Need to consider time of flight and what can happen over that time too.

I'm more impressed with guys that can get within 10 yards. To each their own though as long as the animal doesn't suffer.

I agree. However, there is a lot of country out west not conducive to getting to 10yds.

That’s why I said know your gear. If a person is in a 25mpg crosswind, they shouldn’t take a shot. If it’s still, calm animal, and you know your capabilities with your gear, you can do it with high probability

Maybe. I have done a lot of what would be long range archery, been doing less and less of it. Just a lot of variables, elk don't tend to be spooky, or mule deer. But lots of other animals are, including antelope.

At 100 yards what was a calm animal might not be once the arrow gets there.

I got within 70 of a pronghorn in a spot and stalk hunt in 6" of grass. I don't agree. Especially on an animal like an elk.

Just because you can make this shot on a target doesn’t mean that you should take it on a live animal even if you are Tim Wells. Way too many variables and a high risk of wounding an animal IMO.

I agree with you. But would you say the same for a 1000yd rifle shot or 300yd muzzleloader?
