Pheasant Hunt with Traditional Bow | 16 SLOW-MO SHOTS & THE GREATEST MISSES in Bowhunting (ONE HIT)
Спорт
Bowhunting for pheasants isn't easy, but it's a lot of fun. Clay Newcomb took his traditional bow to hunt pheasant in Kansas in January of 2020. You'll see fifteen of the greatest bowhunting misses of all time and one of the greatest hits. You can check out the Bear Hunting Magazine podcast to hear all the details of the hunt, including gear, tactics and how the hunt really went down. Cameraman Brent Reaves of Reckless Drift Media filmed the hunt and joined Clay on the podcast. They were hunting with Upland Inn Hunts in Greensburg, Kansas. They had lots of opportunity at wild pheasants. DON'T BE AFRAID TO MISS!

As long as you don't lose an arrow and you can kill one you can feed yourself for the day.
Respect! That is tough. I've shot at "bow birds" or flying foam disc's with my recurve and trying to shoot a flying target with a traditional bow is a whole new challenge!
This was GREAT Clay. Thanks for posting. It looks easier in slow motion, ha. Some of those misses were SO CLOSE.. People that can't/don't/won't shoot traditional may never understand how much fun they are missing out on. Even just walking thru the woods shooting tough arrows that weigh 600 grains with a rubber blunt at 150 fps at stumps, clumps of grass, or a pile of leaves, is crazy fun. Not possible shooting light arrows at 300 fps with compound. Traditional archer is where the art of lobbing comes into play and 20 yards shots are considered long distance. Take up the challenge, will never regret.
That sure looked like a lot of fun!
I kept hearing my 4-h instructor yelling "aim where it's gonna be!!" Good one man 👍

yeah good man
My neighbor growing up always hunted pheasants with a bow and arrows. He always came home successful. Even now I'm impressed.
Not losing an arrow is truly a feat to be had lol been using my bow this year for pheasants it’s so much fun and a real challenge, got my first w a bow this past Saturday gonna try again today!
Another Awesome video Clay thanks for sharing.
Some very close misses for sure. gotta love it! I just bought a super nice Kodiak Hunter today at a pawn shop for $87. it is like new for a 50 plus old bow and boy is it a shooter. It has to be the best bow that I have ever shot. Never dreamed of finding one much a beautiful one like this at that price. I used to practice on moving targets, had some tennis ball that hung from a two foot piece of 2x4 that was on pulleys that ran down hill from a two story root top to the ground on a cable. I used blunts and the red plastic thumpers. Shot a lot of moving fish in water too. also took out a few running squirrels with flu flu s. keep at it Clay, fun is fun!
This is the best hunting video on KZread. It was exciting, you tried your best and yet not a blood drop.
Dang some really close shots. Really enjoyed it BHM 🤘🏻

Another great hunt Clay here in my home state. Glad to see you make good memories, this hunt is definitely on my list! I know the 125 size didn’t work out great, but I wonder if the smaller sized 100gr would fair any better. Maybe just allowing a small bit of penetration and more shock.
Pretty sweet Clay... you were pretty damn close on a bunch of them... lol 😂looked like a blast.. great vid.. 👍

Awesome video! My buddies and I take our stick bows once or twice a year for birds. We actually do ok on the aerial shots but need to rely heavily on my dogs to run them down once hit. Good luck! Brad
The only way to go! Thank you!
Still an awesome little film, have a buddy just getting into traditional archery already has 2 pheasants down, one buck and one turkey on his first season.

Brilliant!, the misses were only just misses. I found this video much more entertaining than the usual run of the mill “success with every shot” videos, thanks for sharing with us here in the uk, where we are denied the pleasure of bow hunting!.

To be fair, bowhunting is dangerous to the game if the hunter isn't skilled enough, which is a bit more of a problem than for rifle hunters, and the land that you can hunt on is limited far more than in the US, like 5-10 acre lots. You can't take the risk of the animal fleeing and causing damage by running into traffic or into another guy's plot.

@@3asianassassin not sure you’ve ever been to the uk, but the land I shoot over ranges from 200 to 2000 acres. Bow hunting was only banned here because of a few morons shooting game with target points and leaving them to die a lingering death from gangrene. I used to bow hunt with a lot of success (using the correct heads) before the ban and have used .243 and .308 on deer and fox since the ban on bows.

@@3asianassassin if someone (proficient) wanted to poach with a bow it would be incredibly easy, I have taken friends out with their cameras and placed them on a game trail where I know deer will be, and they have been within 10 to 20 yards from the deer, when I’ve shown non hunters the pictures they think a telephoto lens was used. For such a crowded little island as ours, we still have some unspoilt places.

Wonderful! Nice job, actually. Honest story that tells although arrows missed sometimes, in the end hunter hits the game.
It was a very nice hunt, congratulations👍
Great hunting.. this is genuinely traditional hunting style and this is how it should be. Although I hunt with gun and have never used bow but sometimes I feel pity for birds hunting with gun especially with semi-auto gun.
Looks extremely fun
love it when the birds fly free
Another good one Clay!

Did I see you try to Arkansas a pheasant?😄 That's what we call it when you shoot at one on the ground. Cool video Clay.

Chad Kampster haha! I shot at a few on the ground!

I was thinking it was your shooting making the arrows wobble when close to the bird but it was the wind created by its wings.🤗Tough shooting. Also you have an aggressive recurve that can make accurate on the wing shots difficult. The only thing I have hit on the wing is a rubber ball with a laminated longbow.
Awesome work brother!!!!

What is the brand of your bow ? I recognize the Black widow design but also the ultra hard reflex of border limbs...
So close! What was the broadhead you were using? Does it penetrate or is it blunt impact?
this remind me of super mario brother duck hunt. i dont how many times your dog laugh at you when you miss.

I don’t even know how you can shoot a pheasant flying with a bow. I stick with a shotgun 12 gauge if you care. But something about it just seems so fascinating
It's your heart that lands it. Always let your heart shoot.
What kind of bow you shoot in the video any link to it
You should have magnus make you some upland bull heads. If you could get them a half inch wider your batting average would be pretty awesome with that bow.

Jeff Kavanagh is the guy that makes wing shots with a stick bow.
What bow are you using?
My uncle used to bring his bow when we'd take our shotguns. He could drop pheasant and quail like nothing with that bow.
Interesting hunting
Showing normal speed and slo-,mo would show what you were up against!
Was this private land or walk in hunting ? I live 20 mins from the area in this video
Crazy 😂😂😂
I want to know what the pull on Clay's bow is
Wow! Good shooting (most of those shots would have taken out most mammals) and no arrows lost!
