Crazy shots in the field!!!

Lest hear about some un orthodox shots that y'all have taken to take game.  Not talking about "Haill Mary" shots, but ones you knew you could make that were out of the norm.
Get bamboo.

When I was a kid, We tent camped in my uncle's woodlot on his farm every summer for our family "vacation"...

He had cut & baled the hayfield next to it, and there was a woodchuck hole about 100yds out in the field.
It's always fun to just launch arrows, and I spent about a week launching arrows at that chuckhole...
I found that if I held the tip of my arrow on a certain bush in the pasture behind it,
I could pretty much drop an arrow right on it, pretty much every time.

My cousin who was a year younger than me came down for a visit, and asked if I had brought my rifle? (a .243)
Why? I asked... He said that there was a woodchuck in the field, and it was a "dead-nuts" shot.
I grabbed my bow and 1 arrow, and told him I was going to go shoot it. He laughed!! :laughing:

I saw that the woodchuck was only about 5' from the hole... I drew back, held the tip of the Razorhead right next to the edge of the bush, and let the string slip..... Now, I knew I was gonna be close....

We watched the arrow fly through the air, and start to drop...
Into what soon turned into a rolling, squeeling, whistlepig!!!  :o
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows..... Happy Hunting!!!
