Makes sense to me.

Ive heard that too Jerry, but i think if the deer jumps, its a clean miss. If it ducks, its a lung shot. You win either way.

Not only does Dan have a great sense of humor, he forgot more about archery hunting and crossbows than any of us will ever know about the sport.

In the Excalibur Crossbow video he said "It'll feel better when it quits hurtin'"

And also the line about "singin' saprano in the Vienna Boys choir"......

Hillarious!....

+1 -I heard that a while ago. I wish I had followed that advise over the winter when a completely relaxed doe at 42 yards (lasered) who was totally unaware of my presence miraculously jumped the string. She moved so abruptly and violently that I thought I had knocked her down but it was a complete miss. I could not believe it. Had I aimed for the heart as I knew to do I would have hit her properly.
