[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 740971, member: 30902"] I shot a bow a LOT as a kid. My longest ever kill was a prairie dog at 48 paces with an old Bear Super Kodiak II when I was in college though. Being as my original MOS was mortars I was a natural fit for long range bow hunting but my shoulder problems cut that short HA! I wish I was better with the camera. There's a nice little clear "Keyhole" I was shooting through all the way but I just can't manage to get a shot any better than that one. I grew up shooting here in the Texas Mesquite country hunting deer and was taught early by my dad's best friend how to figure those shots. They are really hard to see until someone takes the time to explain it and demonstrate it and with how the hunt went this morning I figured it'd be a good story to share here since I'd never seen anyone else talk about them in depth. People for some reason imagine Texas as this wide open flat land with nothing but grass for miles. I think that comes from driving across the Panhandle on I-40. There's not a natural tree up on the Llano Estacado and it IS that flat! Of course that's less than 20% of the state. [/QUOTE]
