Impressive 943 Yard Mountain Goat Shot

[Hoofbite]

If they could shoot back it would be a sport.

Guess that's why lacking the opposable thumb needed to hold the gun really sucks for a goat, eh Focker?

I met a guy who bow-hunts grizzlies. You have to get close and you have to be accurate. Getting a second shot could be a problem. He told me he's bagged four bears in his life and has backed off from several more when he's not sure. I think he's crazy, but there may come a day when the bears get even. I doubt we'll ever see video of that event. :

Eh, never had it but if goat tastes like lamb, I'm all in.

I do these kinds of shots in video games all the time.

Grizzlie hunting with a bow?!?! I wouldn't even get close with a pistol let alone some sticks and string.

I was reading some of the comments on Youtube. I do not recommend anyone go try shots like that. These guys did it very professionally. I know that will upset some people and I am sorry.

They set up their camp and practiced that shot for 3 days before they attempted that particular shot. They were more than just confident in their practice. They measured wind velocity and all kinds of things and studied the goats. The goat they shot had particular repeated movements that they waited for.

In other words they did not leave this to chance even at that distance.

One guy commenting on the video did a great job of explaining why you can see the vapor trail of the windage on the shot. It is because they have it zoomed in so far and have thus magnified the field that the bullet was traveling in as it left vapor trails.

How about buck knife versus goat horns.

Probably been done before. Not sure why anyone would but I'm confident that it's happened at least once or twice in all of history.

First person to have recorded killing the Big Five with a bow and arrow. From san antonio texas, thank ya very much.

For those unfamiliar with safari hunting, the Big Five are so named because they are the five most dangerous animals to hunt, period. To do so with a recurve bow and arrow takes a lot more skill and makes the danger level go through the roof.

The Big Five are African elephant, lion, leopard, black rhino, and Cape Buffalo.

Haha...it's an impressive shot but guys are making more impressive shots than this in Afghanistan.

They shot like snipers. A spotter with a shooter. It's very impressive.

Do you know if either of them had police or military training? If not that makes it even more impressive.
