So I just got home in time to catch the end of Realtree. There's some blond gal perched in a tree rattling some horns. There are several bucks around. So they parade past, she goes through the &quot;this bow is to heavy for me&quot; drawing routine as she points the thing at the sky and struggles to draw. She finally gets it back and the arrow falls off the rest as she tried to right the bow which she had laid almost on it's side to draw. She goes through some more girations and gets the arrow on the rest. Unknown to her it had then come off the string... so she DRY FIRES the thing. One of the bucks jumps and runs but the biggest one takes a hop into a wide open shooting lane. She reloads. She then goes through the &quot;THIS DAMN BOW IS TO HEAVY FOR ME TO PULL&quot; drawing routine again. As she is about to shoot the arrow falls off again. She lays it on it's side to try and get it back in place. The camera man reaches up(still filming it all) and places the arrow on the rest. She sights and shoots. Hits the buck perfectly<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> right about half way between the ribs and the butt in the middle of the tenderloins. The deer runs off... she says great hunt. Let's go get my deer. I'm saying lots of luck lady.... and that's what'll take cause you didn't hit any vitals by a long shot. So now it's dark and she's stormin through the woods like she's running from the boggie man. She stops, smiles for the camera and says... &quot;There he is ... yahoo&quot;. Then she proceeds to tell she missed one earlier in the week. After seeing her &quot;GOOD HIT&quot; I can believe that. Makes me wonder if they weren't using a pod. Absolutely a rotten hit and shot placement with pittiful penetration. Someone needs to show these people how to shoot, how to match equipment to shooter and patience. The things we have to endure just so someone can put a pretty face in front of a camera. This stuff makes me sick.

Davidmil,

I just saw the same show and was shocked<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>
I could not believe my eyes, it was a circus act at best. that bow was way to heavy for her, it looked like it was the first time she ever picked a bow up<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>. Pitifull to watch.

Dang it!! I got tied up on the phone when she was first rattling at the two bucks when the third showed up...RING. And then I missed the rest until they showed her holding its head up.

If I ain't huntin',I'm trappin',If I ain't trappin',I'm fishin'
If I ain't fishin',I'm wishin'!

I saw it too. Realtree could do better and nor show such garbage.

I saw the show also. I am a big fan of Realtree, but, this was BAD! I couldn't believe what I was watching. The lady OBVIOUSLY didn't practice with that bow because if she did, she would have realized the draw weight was too much for her. Then, she kept fumbling the arrow around, causing all kinda chaos in the tree. Then, when she shot, I almost flipped out. She hit the deer as David had explained, about half way back and VERY HIGH. The funny thing was that she said she &quot;heard the deer crash just on the other side of the field&quot;. I have seen deer shot through both lungs run further than how far this deer &quot;supposidly&quot; went. The dry firing was amussing also.

Realtree has had one other shot that reminds me of this. A lady was hunting and had a big buck come in. She tried drawing her bow back but she couldn't, she pulled a muscle in her shoulder while trying to get it drawn back. Then, the lady TRIED AGAIN, and the camera man helps her. Now, she is at full draw, barely able to hold it, wobbling like nothing that I have ever seen. You could give a person with tremors and they would hold the bow more steady. Does she let down and not &quot;risk a bad shot&quot;, NOPE, she takes it and shoots over the deer.

For the most part, the Realtree videos have guys shooting bucks and making great shots, but, these two ladies shouldn't have been hunting IMHO.



Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet

I saw the show this morning. I was not impressed at all. I just wonder where these people hunt, where they can actually pull back on a deer...dry fire...and the deer dont' even react. I think the woman was Jay Gregory's wife, and Jay was the cameraman who helped her. The draw weight was obviously too much. She may have been hunting in a state where there is a required draw weight. I dont' know. But I think she should invest in a different rest...such as a whisker biscuit. I had problems with my arrow not staying on the rest, so I fixed the problem by getting a different rest. If you actually PRACTICED before you went out, you would know whether your draw weight is TOO MUCH, and whether or not your arrow will stay on the rest or not. It was an absolute MIRACLE to see her walk away with the deer that she did. I'm glad she did not get the bigger buck that was there.

Obviously.... we're not pretty enough. I'm close... but the rest of you are never going to get it. I just need a couple more hairs in my wig to fill it in. And maybe dye it blonde. It's getting crazy with these shows. To insure they're politically correct all the shows are adding more and more women, kids and handicapped. It's getting so the shows are less and less normal run of the mill hunters. OR, my concept of whos doing all the hunting in the country is wrong. REALLY, show after show is all the above and less and less about Billy Bob who can hunt without someone reloading or pulling his bow for him/her/etc.
