I would say pretty fast. Take a look at these screen shots of a doe taken by our very own Scott Teaschner. I find this to be very interesting and a great tool of learning.
My appolagies for the quality reduction. As you read in the story i did not want to risk any more movments. So this is cell phone video into the sun.
This is just before the sound of the bow.

This is her just as the arrow enters the screen. I know it is hard to see but it is bright orange.

One more frame we see the arrow nearing its mark. Though it looks to be low.

She crouched right into it and picked up that arrow. This is he first jump notice the blood and broadhead having exited about 8 inches or so.

These are much more clear on my ipad I wish i could save that quality.
Here is a video i annotated i hope you can see it better

Oh that worked much better than what we were doing last night. How did you re do it?
You gotta love Ubersense.
That is cool and way fast! I would love to get a hunt on video. It is so hard alone on the ground though. Maybe that will be a goal for this year.

Pretty neat randy except I thought this was an equipment thread lol J/K :nono:
Seems you have to aim low on those critters like texas deer?
Boy I really don't remember seeing her move till the arrow hit. I just remember seeing the bright fletching disappear right were it needed to be. Wow very cool. I gave her a few before I released because I knew she was a little tense.
That's awesome; Thanks for sharing I just came in from shooting and by the looks of it those Pronghorn are way too fast for my arrows
>>>----------->

Amazing! How far did she go?
Another thing I was thinking. That arrow should have looked low I think . It was still climbing at that point. at 10 yards my arrow rises 10" above point on at 20 yards it rises to 16" above point on. So I cant tell the distance it traveled in the screen but I think it should have still bee on incline in that yardage where we first see the arrow. Between 18 and 22 yards it should have stayed around the 16" above point on.
She was dead before we could get out of the blind and she went about 50 to 60 yards.
So what we are seeing here is that Scott should have missed... :readit: :D
I see the flaw of my title Charlie. Fixed :-)
No Gregg I anticipated that and allowed for the reaction of the animal do to circumstances! I would have missed other wise! LOL
Pretty cool series of pictures, thanks for sharing.
They are just great animals, and you captured it. Nicely done
Good video man they have incredible reaction time. Probably heard the bow, and maybe saw the pink feathers.
Very cool! I bet a lot of us would see and realize more if this movement if we got more shots on video.
I know I've hit wt. does on the opposite side that I shot at. Shot at turkeys with their wings down strutting and they get them up and open before the arrow gets there and find no holes In the wings. Even had a lucky one pull a ninja move and bat my arrow up and over him as he raised his wings reacting to the shot!
And of course there' those wacky TX deer that we've shot at their knees and hit them anywhere from perfect to spine shots...incredible reactions wild critters have!!
When I first saw this video on the other thread I said to my GF "Wow there is a reason they call them speed goats!"
I don't know how fast they can run but I have had them stay even with my truck at 60 mph for quite a distance.
God bless, Steve
Is this a Geico commercial.
How Fast can an Antelope Move
Not as fast as Scotts arrow.
Good job :thumbsup: :campfire:
That was sweet. Most days with my selfbow and slow arrow speeds it isnt even a contest. They look like that guy on the Matrix with my arrows then they just trot away with a smirk. If you havent seen a antelope smirk shoot a selfbow. :)
Pronghorn are amazing animals. I can't think of any other land mammal in the world that can run 35mph for 4+ miles!
BTW, how far was the shot?

Loved the video. And congrats to you guys again! Is it illegal to hunt a Pronghorn without a Pronghorn? LOL! Im sure Tracy thinks so...
Wow, that is fast! Congrats!

I think it might be but my Stalker sure did the trick.
Curt I think that you are right on with your comments a lot to be learned.
Their reaction time is simply boggling.
The pronghorn is the 2nd fastest mammal on the planet. Researches suspect that since that it is rare for a predator to be able to prey on them, then cheetahs may have inhabited North America at one time.
Very informative, thanks for posting!
Great video, I have had many antelope do the same thing.

Very wise, grasshopper! :archer2:
One more for those of you going out this weekend.
While driving on a small gravel road a big buck was in the ditch running next to me, I wouldnt let him cross in front of me as they like to do sometimes and when I glanced at the speedometer it showed 70 mph and he maintained that speed for short awhile.
I think this is great insight for those that have not hunted as much as to how much any animal reacts to just sound that is not natural to there environment. Thanks for posting Randy. Really just great knowledge gained by time spent in the field watching and hunting wildlife.
