200 yard archery shot

[fasteddie]

kind of a long lead to get to the point but this guy is something else ....

[wooffer]

I had to stop practicing my longe range shots. My neighbor on the next block started complaining about my target setup in their yard.

[sits in trees]

gotta hand it to that guy, and on a windy day...

[fasteddie]

I think the guy said he had to hold about 13 - 15 feet over the target .

[Deerthug]

Wow! I think I'll stick to 40 yds max. Lol!

[fasteddie]

Wow! I think I'll stick to 40 yds max. Lol!

There's no max range on balloons ..........

[Geno C]

wow! thats impressive, great shot

hes shooting my bow also!

[burmjohn]

Geno maybe you can try doing that to get rid of the TP

[NFA-ADK]

I have to aim 10-12 feet above my target at 80 yards lol. 200 wow... It might be time to upgrade after 11 years but I love my MQ1!

[Geno C]

Geno maybe you can try doing that to get rid of the TP

screw it, im going for 300... lol

ill prob get TP so bad the arrow will hit 10ft in front of me... lol jk

[pistolp71]

Wow. Amazing.

See what your bow is capable of Geno. Just a couple hours practice and you can do that too!

[burmjohn]

I bet that took 30 tries, they just show 2

[Geno C]

Wow. Amazing.

See what your bow is capable of Geno. Just a couple hours practice and you can do that too!

lol i wish

Some of these guys are just unbelieveable. I doubt that I could make that shot even if I was given an unlimited number of arrows and a few years to try. What the heck, most likely I would have to elevate the bow so much that my hand or arm would be blocking the target I was trying to hit.....lol.

[bkln]

WOW, 200 yards that's a stretch, I would shoot my MQ1 to 50-100 yards but 200? you have to be kidding me...Bravo Zulu Kid...

[Pistol Pete]

so much for the 150 foot law

[bkln]

so much for the 150 foot law

What Law?

[skyhunter]

an Easton Epic @ 7.3 grains / inch is a light shaft, and that arrow was chronographed at 310 ft /sec is what I believe he said. tough to figure how that math adds up. yes, a light arrow will travel faster but you would need a lot of KE to get that arrow to a 200 hundred yard target even after aiming high. Now you have a light arrow bending a whole bunch out of the bow and traveling in the wind 200 yards downrange.

quite a feat to pull off.

The guide I hunted with in Arizona used to shoot a custom made PSE at 110lbs (he had to drive to PSE to tune the bow as nobody there could draw it)....he took several mule deer with it over 100yards....also took a few nice bull elk at 75+ yards.....

2 things 1 how about that time of flite think how far a deer could move in that much time. 2 this will add fuel to the fire that a cross - bow is no better then a bow

[fasteddie]

Nothing was mentioned or insinuated about taking a 200 yard shot at a deer . The guy is just shooting a damn balloon to show that he could hit it at 200 yards .

[Larry]

i was just saying think how far a deer could move with that flite time. so don't be a

I doubt this guy is advocating shooting this far for deer, he his just showing what todays bows are capable of in the hands of a expert. Dont get me started on X-bows lol...

Interesting calculation of worthless info:

Arrow speed =310 fps

Average deer walking speed = 3.5 MPH per (The Deer of North America" Leonard Lee Rue III… Page 40)

Distance = 200 yards

------------------------------------------------------

arrow is airborne 1.935 seconds (assuming the 319 fps is the average throughout the 200 yard distance - which it is not)

deer moves 1192 inches (9.9 feet)

I wonder what kind of kinetic energy it would have left? Might be surprised.

Target shooting is a whole different thing from hunting. The two don't compare at all, other than the same equipment is used. There are far fewer variables to target shooting and you don't have to worry about wounding a target.
