[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 221887, member: 2736"] I don't know if it's the closest shot made with a bow but It was very very close. I was standing with my back to a big aspen looking down into a bottom and heard something comming from behind, so not wanting to show myself I stayed still and waited. A few minutes later I heard and smelled an Elk coming to my position and waited to see him . Well I really got to see "Her" it was a big cow and she came right by me and stopped ,I could see the veins in her neck pulsing. She looked away and I drew the bow as i came up with it, and as soon as the broadhead was centered behind the shoulder I released.( no need to aim). Then a strange thing happened the bow flew out of my hand and went past my right side hitting the ground 3 to 4 feet behind me. I though my bow had broken but was to busy watching the ELk run to worry about The bow. The cow fell less than a 100 yrds and then I started trying to figure out what happened to my bow. The bow was fine so I must have not been holding on very hard. then after looking at where I was standing and where the big cow was when I shot with the bow at full draw I only had 10" to 15" inches between her and my broadhead at full draw. So when I released, the arrow struck her before it was clear of the bow causing it to push back and come out of my hand. I have only had one other close encounter with a deer and did not shoot but it was very exciting to be that close to a wild animal an not be detected.Thats the way a sniper must feel when he moves on someone that doesent know he's anywhere near. Any way, thats the closest shot I ever made. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
