Call it what you want, it's still FISHING!
« on: July 06, 2009, 10:38:00 PM »
Whereever I shoot I like to set an accuracy standard to which others can strive NOT to achieve.    :banghead:

So hopefully this little 2.5-minute flick will show the folks that are just thinking about bowfishing just how bad a shooter one can be and still have fun!

I mean, ya gotta be able to shoot better than this guy.   :eek:  

I know it's a bit shaky, but it was tough remembering I had to point the upper limb in a certain direction for the video. I hope you guys get a good laugh out of this, I know I did!    :D  

Shoot straight.

Bernie

Thanks guys, it wasn't very funny at the time, but put it all together in a video and it is pretty hilarious.

James, that's the spirit--there's always a silver lining! And it's a good thing I use a good old-fashioned fishing reel because with one of those new-fangled reel-up things I would just have twice as many misses...
