What pros need practice??
I was watching a few videos the other night and I came to the conclusion that some of these "pros" are really terrible shots. Some guys I have not heard of, but even the Drury's did not hit the mark at close range like I thought they might. Some guys missed completely, others hit em in the spine, and some hit way far back. Even Wadell made a few questionable hits. Stan Potts is a good shot most of the time as is bill jordan andT-Bone.I know i have made some poor shots, but then again, i don't do this for a living, I can't practice as much as i like. I know these guys have busy schedules, but they have to be better than that. What do you guys think? Who makes you cringe when they shoot on the videos??

I'll just say.....
Sometimes our arrow goes right where our pin was.......but when it gets there the animal has moved. I've seen this happen.
The shots aren't the thing that makes me cringe when I watch hunting shows. Most often....it's the shot selection. I'm sure we get fooled by the camera angle, some.....but sometimes we see all too well.

By no means am I the gretest shot.... I just was curious to know if anyone else thinks that some of these guys could use a little more practice, especially Rick White from Primetime Bucks...

I have noticed this with some of the videos that I have, I mean I am not the best shot but come on, I seen one dude gut shot one, and another guy take two shots at one deer and miss them both.

Its more a midwestern name, but Hunter's Specialties employs some terrible shots. Among other things, I watched a demo for luminoc from them, showing a ton of bad shots. Butt, neck, spine, guts, brisket, the whole nine yards. The worst part was, the vid was in cabela's, being shown as a demo at the time in the store. Not sure who's bright idea that was.

Bill Jordan one of the good shots? Never noticed that ? LOL
Stan and Brad Farris for the most part are money..........although Brad did miss a couple on the latest vid
My #1 Cringer is Eddie Salter of HS. "Gut Shot Eddie" we've taken to calling him.

Steve Stoltz is hot on his heels though, and that one guy from the Drury's , his last name is Frank? YIKES
