Yes I did have the camera on and lets just say I am a way better hunter than a cameraman. LOL you see the birds and you see the arrow come off the rail and impact but after that it gets pretty wild. Because of what the bird did ( flew away ) I instantly lower the bow so I can look out the window to see where in the heck it is going. There is a lot of vibration from the bow and it does jiggle when you shoot. But the footage leading to the shot is good and then the shot is a little blurred and impact is good and after that you got to remember to stay on game as they run off or you do not get anything else after shot.

Well you could always put the beginning of the vid up, I am just interested in the launch of the arrow(vibration effect), and how well the Go Pro was able to see the arrows target at a distance.

Nice job, congrats. I will be heading out tomorrow with my vortex. I had to go out and buy a crankaroo because I broke my wrist. Practiced yesterday leaning crossbow on my arm. Good to go just need to get a bird in front of me now.
