Does anybody know of anyone attempting this right now? or if someone has done it that I never heard about?
I'm talking about shooting all NA big game animals...not the Easton Shafts....
There is that guy Chuck he has the magnum pi mustache but he did it with a compound.
Put me up for the longbow Not-so-superslam. Bunnies, squirrels, fox, coyote, deer, turkeys, dillos, cats, a few twittie birds, lots of fish, and beaver. :readit: :goldtooth:
I would think that someone out there must be getting close. How about Nathan Andersohn?
I dont think it has been done strictly with a longbow yet. I know a few guys have done it with a recurve though.
I read a post a while back that someone was pursuing it with a longbow, can't remember his name. I know that Mr. Eichler has shot all of the North American Big game animals with a recurve, I don't think that it is a Slam though since some of them don't make "book". It would sure be fun to run the course to do that much hunting though.
If someone would front the money i would sure be willing to quit my job and fly around and give it a try :D
I am ready. Show me tha money and I will get it done! LOL!
Rick Duggan and Fred Eichler both have done it with a recurve.
And they don't have to be Pope and Young class to be considered.
I belive Nathan Anderson is closing in on being the first.
Guess im gonna have to do it with a self bow :biglaugh:
fred eichler should be close with a recurve
Fred completed the updated super slam a few months ago when they added the Tule Elk to the list. I don't know if Rick duggan got the Tule Elk yet, they had a nice article in the New York times if you can believe it of Rick trying to get a Tule Elk last year with his recurve but he didn't get one that season at least that is what the article said.
Nathan is getting close with the longbow, don't know of anyone else that is close with longbow only.
That would be awsome to do. Wish I had the means to do it. Thats would be living the dream.
I think that Nathan Anderson only needs a Polar Bear and an Alaska Brown Bear...

I'm with you BJP...selfbow with all homemade equipment...wood arrows, knapped points, plaid instead of camo. That would be the ultimate!
Has anyone ever done the Math on roughly the expenses of doing such a task? I would do it, I just simply couldnt afford it!!
Especially the sheep hunts.those alone would probably run you over $100K
by longbow, is it considered longbow limbs, or does it have to be a certain longbow? D type, etc
Long bow as in NO RECURVED TIPS
Where does one find the list of the animals necessary for the super slam? Im sure I have an idea of most of them. Just curious.
I am getting close. I only lack about 23 species to go and no money to do it with :biglaugh:
Disregard my question. I got on Pope and Young and found them. Thanks anyway
