Byron is one heck of an archer! I've seen him do shots as close as 15 feet to 100 yards with amazing ability. I like the tougher shots every episode. He puts on a great show, has a great personality and makes archery look fun! Which attracts perspective shooters to our sport. Even though we build them I have to say he uses one fine bow quiver also(LOL) The Kanati Bow Quiver. Look for it on up coming imposible shot episodes

I second the "fine bow quiver" quote also.    :thumbsup:

Okay, that was pretty cool. The visit to Howard Hill Archery to see how longbows are made was very cool too.

Thanks for sharing the photo Mr. Dill!

Those are some nicely spliced red, white, & blue feathers.

Looks like Byron is shooting some Gold Tips in that photo.  Does anyone know if that is the shaft of choice for Byron?

Have a great day!

NovahunterPa, the title is More Extreme Marksman. I think this is the 3rd one.

I caught the re-run at midnight....amazing shooting!!
An aspirin out of mid air? Incredible. A triple ricochet? Impressive. The water droplet though...Im speechless.

What's the story on the water droplet?  I didn't see the show.

Shinken

Those feathers on his arrows are gateway patriots that are dyed that color. His arrows are easton/beeman MFX classic shafts.

The water drop shot was great!

Dave, they basically set up a water bottle to drip steadily. Took him three tries, but he pulverized the drop mid-air...I would guess at maybe 10 yards? I know if it wasnt for the hi-speed photogrphy...it would have been impossible to see....try to catch a re-run....its worth it.

Seeing some of those shots Byron made was great.
In my opinion Byron Freguson is one of the very best "Extreme Marksmen" of our time.
And for anyone that saw the Extreme Marksmen show and liked it, you have got to check out his new video production dvd "Byron Ferguson's Barebow 101". For me it is a must have for any traditional bowhunters video library.

I like watching Byron's shot execution.  Just effortless and so smooth. If you missed the show, try to catch it next time.  It's a good one.

Not only did Byron do a great shot (as usual), but loved the coverage on "Howard Hill Archery", seeing Craig do his magic.

First of all, no disrespect to Byron...he's a great shot and a fabulous ambassador for archery.  I'm not worthy.  Two comments.

The first is that the water drop was, as I recall, 15 feet. A great shot, nonetheless.

Second, I never saw him actually hit the aspirin....because I was curious to watch his draw....it appeared to me that he snap shot at a rather short draw both of those aspirin.  Yes, he hit both of them but if I had to guess, I'd guess he drew about 20 inches.  Did anyone else notice that?
