    Last season on my first turkey of the 2014 season. 15 mph crosswind 50 yards on the nose with a walking tom. Needless to say I got lucky! It wasn't on the show because the footage was so so due to a decoy being in the way of the video shot. But it was fun watching that lighted launch pad find its mark!

    I should have specified most difficult target shot
    I didn't want to start the whole "bad shot" thread

    It was before school, and my foam target block was underneath the swing set, with the slide blocking the entire bottomleft corner. 1st shot , 2 inches left of the aiming point. Second shot, drilled my field point through the slide and splintered the arow. lesson learned...

    A few years ago I had a doe come in to about 15 yards. Because of a limb in my way I decided to shoot sitting down, and I had shot like this before. This time however, the bottom cam, limb, or both hit my knee cap so hard on the shot that I thought it was probably broken.
    I hit the deer low, on the leg and she started hobbling away from me. I knew I could finish the job within 50 so I stood up, basically on one foot, and shot her quartering away at 40yds to end it.
    That was my toughest shot, just because I couldn't really get good balance without my knee feeling like it was going to just explode.
    Turns out nothing was broken, but it took several days before it didn't hurt much.
