This Bull has came straight in to your calls. You are at full draw. 18 yards away. He has paused to look back at his cows.

What are you doing? Shooting or waiting? If you are shooting and have the ability mark where you are aiming

Shooting, I feel very confident at 30yds practicing for a full frontal that I have no problem taking at 20yds or less on a living animal.

Nope! I'm waiting for a better shot on this one. Just a little too much brush in the way for me. Although there is a chance for a kill in the picture, you need to have ice in your veins and be dead nuts perfect with your shot. So, I would wait for a little better chance.

If I looking at the pic correctly; it looks like I would be shooting 2 more inches to the right. with a rifle or box. Ive made a similar frontal on a Montana bull, 32 yards and an Idaho bull, 52 yards plus deer cootes and antelope. Good top of the heart shots
Even though I believe I could make that archery shot under most conditions, historically I have habit of wanting that bull closer :o and the bull walking away :lol:
