    Same thing I use for deer. Slick Trick standards, ViperTricks, or Rage Hypodermics. And my aim point is at the base of the neck. Larger than the head, smaller than the body. I try to keep one setup for everything.

    Why the base of the neck? Better kill? I need to decide where to shoot them. I feel most comfortable shooting at the body.

    Little bigger kill area. Heads always bobbing and moving. Don't disagree with shooting at the body. Sometimes it's tough to figger out where the vitals are. Aiming for the wing butts keeps them on the ground, but, dang they can run.

    Its a magic trick, really good slight of hand and some props

    These guys break it down well. The laser does a great job of hiding the fact that the arrow has no head on it and isn't actually an arrow!

    Also there is no way they would let anybody point an actual bow and arrow at an audience. No way.

    Yes, it was fake. The killing telltale sign was if you go in slow-motion as he’s turning to let go of the “arrow”l. ook at the string on the bow, it is still back when the “arrow” supposedly leaves, obviously an impossibility! LOL

    So, for the heck of it I threw some cat whiskers on my Powermax. Yeah, I feel like a Ninja now haha! Had no idea how quiet it would make this bow.

    slows your arrow speed down a tad but probably not anything major ;)

    Indeed, the price you pay for being a Ninja!

    Was worried it was gonna mess with my sight picture too, but it didn't.

    Always wanted to know how they worked, now I do.
