Thoughts on this shot? - Tim Wells

[rjthehunter]

120 Yard shot on a bull elk. No sights, fingers, all instinctive... Is it responsible? Not in my mind, but it was a hell of a shot regardless.
(The video should start at 23:50 just before the shot)

[brushcreek]

depends on how much he practices. I'm not in a position to know.

Tim Wells puts up a lot of impressive stuff, but I wonder if there is a lot of stuff he doesn't put up. It would be a telling video, if to silence the haters, he put a target up at 120 yards and repeated this shot 5 times. What do you think that would look like?

 

[The Hedgehog]

Hell of a shot. Alert bull. Nothing could possibly go wrong there..

 

[Trial153]

Nobody can question Tims ability with a stick and string, or most weapons for that matter. Everyone should question Tims poor judgement in what he does and why he does it.

 

[Sasquatchewan]

Definitely a very skilled fool.

He’s shown over time to be a heck of a shot but I’m sure he’s had a lot of bad/terrible moments no one sees. I’m surprised the guide seemed as good with it as he was, if I was him I probably would have been a bit more “wth are you doing?!?!”

 

[Stocker]

I don’t think it’s any different than a guy that can shoot steel well at 1500 yards. I shoot quite a bit at long ranges like. I don’t think I’ve ever shot at a big game animal over 300. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.Coyotes are different, under 2 miles they are getting rounds lobbed at them.

 

[MThuntr]

I don't know who this guy is but he is now on the very long list of personalities I don't need to watch. Nothing short of an unethical shot right there. Regardless of his perceived ability, flight time to the animal is something like 2 seconds and on an alert animal. I truly wonder how many gut shot elk are out there before this one happened.

Thought the same thing.

 

[Mallardsx2]

The guy is is a disgrace to archery hunting. Has been for a long time.

 

[LuketheDog]

Stupid

 

[Wrong Burgundy]

He's a tool. Bad for bowhunting. As mentioned above, think of how many shots/hunts ended up with wounded animals due to lobbing arrows, darts, spears, etc.
And let's not forget about his life-partner.....keep in mind, he intentionally spends time with this:

 

[Bambistew]

Wierd that there is so much talk of YT banning hunting videos. I hope they do. The amount of idiots with cameras doing stupid shit grows exponentially every year.

 

[rwc101]

The time he speared himself was kind of cool.

Come on you guys, I thought we were all supposed to stick together LOLZ?

What a cute stunt. Save it for the 3-D target.
