Chief AJ 200# bow

(1/5) > >>

Badger:
  Is anyone familiar with chief AJ and his record breaking shot of 462 yards. Is this documented? They gave an arrow speed of 332 fps, I find that kind of hard to believe. 800 grain arrow was reported as being used, Steve

Lloyd:
I've heard the stories, but I've never seen any documentation. I too find 332fps somewhat hard to believe

heavybow:
Steve yes ive seen the article. The picture looks that he didnt pulled it, heard he left the bow strung for days. Was selling the bow for $70.000. He also had howard hill made him a 200# bow @ 27" never seen a picture of him pulling it also he was selling that bow for $2000.

duffontap:
Where is this coming from?  Is it in a magazine?
