    Guy shoots at 160 yards using a new sight called a string sight. www.stringsight.com

    I don't fully understand it just yet but that's an amazing shot. :eek3:

    :bs:Sorry guys, I have to call BS on that shot, NOT nearly enough arch on that shot for 160yards!NOT to mention that far and windage not be taken in account?:bs:

    @ 300fps? It's not a long bow plus it's on a declining hill so there shouldn't be such a dramatic arch.

    I second that. Plus at that range the arrow would have almost zero penetration power since the fastest bows are only around I believe 350 fps. Would take a lot of elevation and that equates to shorter distance attainable.

    My gut instinct upon viewing it was that there was not nearly enough arch on that arrow for it to be a real shot, but if it was... damn.

    The arrow looks like it is 20 ft above the ground when it clears the blacktop. At that elevation it is possible to do downhill. I wonder how many shots taken before he hit it?
