[QUOTE="captacademy, post: 689975, member: 7159"] I was once on a show that was aired on TV, not going to say which one, but I shot a nice mule deer buck about 7 years ago. The shot was not the greatest and I needed to hit him 2 more times to bring him down. The 1st shot was at about 375 yards, not far by today's standards, but back then, LRH was not as specialized as it is now, at least for me. When we came up to the buck, he was hit all 3 times. The camera crew had me act like I had just seen the buck and had me bend down to one knee and fire a shot at a rock as they filmed. I was then told to stand up and say "got him". They then spliced the film together, showing the last shot that put the buck down for good. When I saw the show on TV, it really made me look like I took the buck with one clean shot, I didn't. However, I told everyone that congratulated me on the great shooting, that it took me 3 shots total. It surprised everyone. That said, I guess that's show biz. I am clearly not saying that's what happended here, just what happened to me! I have been following The Best of the West since John Burns, as well as the other long range hunting shows since their first airing, I really enjoy watching and using some of their products, knowing we owe all the credit to these guys for putting this LRH sport of ours in the spotlight, my hats off to them. However, like someone above posted, even the best shooter in sport can have a bad shot for unforeseen reasons. I would not judge them, just enjoy the show! [/QUOTE]
