140 yard bow kill on a warthog

[Elmo]

Actually, minimum draw weight is 35 lbs in NYS to hunt deer.  Nothing about ft/lbs.

Easton arrows was the source for 25 ft ib 

No not to arrows

25 ft-lbs for medium sized game... Any references to this number?

You're using a calculator specifically for arrows? What's the BC of the arrow you used in your calculations?

I'm with you in this one, he's pulling numbers out of his rear and stating them as facts.

Don't bother trying to reason with him Shawn he's way too intelligent!

Don't take 140 yards shots at  deer with bow  no matter what the numbers  are. That's what rifles are for . Get a proper hunting  rifle if you want to do that .

17 ft lbs will penetrate head or neck sufficiently to take a deer at these distances. I intend not to go beyond 30 this year myself but if I see some really long range stuff, say 70,80 yards it will be nothing but neck and head shots!

Just get closer

One thing I noticed with this video was that the warthog at the time of the shot was facing the bowhunter directly face on, drinking. I mean, nearly dead straight on. And yet after the kill, the hog's wound was nicely tucked right behind the left leg...... exactly where you would want to hit him on a standing broadside shot.

Now, I'm not going to say that that was an impossible result given the circumstances at the shot, but to me it looks a bit questionable. It did kind of make me think how easy it would be to set up a gun kill to look like a bow kill if someone were to want to do so.

Yea I was thinking the same thing the animal looked like it was facing him but the injury looked like it came from a different angle.  Im sure this guy is good but this looks fishy to me . And the video was definitely cut in length .

Well, I have no problem saying it was impossible, because the heart shot wasn't the first one he took. He says in the description, and you can see on camera, him running after it following the first shot. Then at 2:16 in the video you can see blood on the hog's back from the first shot that was far back; he hit it twice.

You posted this video. Didn't you watch the entire thing or read the description under it?

As for KE, in another video Tim says he is shooting at 251 fps at a bird. That probably changes in some hunts, but a 400 grain arrow at 251 has 56 ft lbs. At 140 yards it's still well over 30 foot lbs. I believe people overestimate the KE reduction of arrows at range.

I am pretty sure its less then that even tho I didn't use a arrow specific  ballistic calculator  because  could not find one that  goes that far
