What’s the best shot you have ever made on a live animal? Bow or Rifle

[TB80]

Considering hunting season is around the corner, let’s hear the best shots you have made, whether it’s because you are that lucky or that good.

Killed a dove last year with the longbow. First shot of the day. Missed about the next 30. It was my 4th day in a row to hunt that way with no success.

[Colton]

157 yards freehand shot on an axis doe, not broadside, facing directly towards me. It was more luck than skill, no doubt.

I consider myself to be a pretty okay shot if I have a rest but that one was 90% luck

[Sika]

With bow, I’ve shot a couple deer and a hog at 40 yards. With a rifle, a deer at 315 yards.

I shot a boar at over 300 yards with night vision that was on top of a girl attacking her.

Threw a rock at a rabbit last December at work, no clue how but it killed it. I thought taking 4 teal with one shot was cool until I realized how quick the hunt was going to be lol

[BLACKFINTURKEY]

326 yards on a nice buck with a 260 rem.
656 yards on a huge Tom 260 rem.
Shot a 120-150 pound hog that was full sprint running free hand at about 275-300 yards with the same 260rem bullet hit her right threw the front elbows.

35 years ago when I was a rifle hunter, was in Meeker Colorado hunting mule deer. Jumped a 6 point at about 50 yards and he took off in that crazy bounding run they do. **** him right in the back of the head. Short tracking job. NO, I did not try to do that. Just a bad shooter that got lucky.

Heart shot on a doe standing under my tree and watching her die in sight is a great feeling.

[Lonestar_HOYT]

Coyote at about 125 yds with a 357 rifle, no scope, free hand at night with my wife holding a spot light on him. He dropped like a hammer! It was pure dang luck.

600@ yds cow elk with my 300wsm

The best ? Probably between these three.

A feral house cat at 109 steps with a Model 53 S&W .22 Jet........at night ! Just aimed at the eyes, the bullet went through its teeth.

A crow at a little over 200 yards with a Big Bore 94 in .375 Win. Peep sight.

Head shot on a rabbit at over 40 yards with a High Standard Target in .22 short

All these were with much younger eyes.

[breadman]

buck at 504 yards with a 300 winmag 16 years ago

[mikemorvan]

About 50 yards with a .22 Browning bolt action. Shot a bull frog dead center between the eyes as he lay in a cow track at the edge of a tank. He never flinched, never knew what hit him. I mean perfectly between the eyes.
