    Default Finally put one on the board this season. Crazy scorpyd power

    Had a bit of a dry spell for the early season. Got my biggest doe at 90 yards, spined her and the arrow still passed through. She dropped like a sack of potatoes. "Didn' go twenny inches". Using a scorpyd aculeus 460 with 125 gr NAP spitfires.

    Hmmm, a "Spaceballs" fan it seems.

    seems like a bit of risk taking a 90 yard shot on an animal with a bow

    No no, this guy is a shooter and 90yds
    (a shot which is 40yds further than a logical/ethical hunter would take) is not a problem….heck he even spined it at that distance, incredible accuracy.

    I’ve always had respect for the poster as he is a good hunter it seems and super keen. I just don’t get the shot distances and what he’s trying to prove. Ya I’ve shot my compound and crossbow at 100yds but that’s into a foam deer or square block.

    It’s been debated over and over again in a multitude of forums etc and no need to beat a dead horse. Taking long distance shots with archery equipment is unethical and is a disservice to the animals we hunt. 2 cent opinion of mine but luckily guys I hunt with and know all share similar one…

    There's only one word that properly describes someone who feels the need to consistently boast about his questionable (to put it lightly) long range archery shots and throw in the odd Rut Daniels quote... a wiener.

    A 90 yard spine shot ... so, you missed where you were aiming.

    Yeah I'm not going through this discussion again. Bottom line is %100 of the deer I hit are quartered within the same night and never go further than 150 yards. This one had a more painless death than just about any deer could get. I practice very regularily at distances with my bow and check the zero atleast 10x/year and I don't take any shots without accounting for all variables. I have zero concern over how impressive what I do is, I'm just highlighting the capabilities of the bow. If people want to ignore my facts and results then that's frankly just a waste of my time. Deer was taken legally and it died quick. End of story.

    I for one really enjoy your posts and you have proved over the years that you are highly capable of taking this type of shot. The deer you have harvested are fantastic and both you and your father are a credit to the hunting fraternity. Will you draw the ire of a few hunters who may be a little jealous and do not have the skill set to pull this off, but that is more a problem they have to dealt with. Dobro.

    Hvala brate! I have no quarrels with people that disagree, everyone has different experiences and specific skill sets. My mentality is I'll do whatever I can to eliminate variables. At the end of the day, if the means are legal, and the end is a quick harvest, then the ends truly justify the means in that case.
