Yeah my special bow I built leaves a vapor trail when the arrow flies downrange.
I've been trying to market the bow and arrow combo but they won't let me, I'm not even allowed to give info. about it.

Lots of people hunt them successfully with bows.

Put it on full screen, set the playback speed at .5 for full dramatic effect.

Good tip. One can see the arc of the bullet even more dramatically.

Some of you may know this, but for example @ 750 yards:

7mm 168vld @ 2,900 fps (muzzle) is dropping 4" every 10 yards. 5 mph 90' wind has moved the bullet over 16".

So ya, everything has to be right - ranging, wind estimation, clicks on the scope, steady hold, trigger pull, etc., etc., etc.

But frankly, the reason I posted this, not just because of the great shot, I was even more impressed by the camera work. Kept the target perfectly ranged, focused and centered. Even more impressive was the editing. Just the shot, then two guys walking off saying a few words to each other, focus on the antelope head. No long winded stories, no disrespectful behavior, just the shot then leave. Very classy. Perfectly done in my book.

Fella I referred to does a camo stalk. On hands and knees mostly.

Most apparently didn't bother to watch the video.
