I don't know about you fella's, But I would never in a million years
take this shot with a compound. Wow them bolts must hit with some
blunt force, and create major trauma.

Again didn't seem to be that loud?

Again, the camera angle and the angle of the shooter are different. He said he had a window and took the shot from 15 yards, pretty high percentage shot, although I probably would not have taken a brisket shot with a bow.

Take a look at this one and see if you would have taken the shot.

From the camera angle it sure seems like there is a lot of brush but the shooter seems to have had a sufficient window. I thought this one was interesting in that it really highlights how little the motion of drawing really handicaps the hunter. In both of the previous videos you posted, where the hunter was using a crossbow, the deer busted the hunter before the shot was taken. In this video, because of the height of the stand and the position of the shooter, there was very little chance of the deer seeing the hunter draw. It wold not have made a bit of difference whether the hunter was using a compound or a crossbow, in this instance.

Yeah that didn't look like much of a window, But it appeared to only
be about a 15 yard shot. And trying to look over the shooter it's hard
to tell he probably had a bigger window than we could see.

I re-watched the doe one, and you are right, with the different angle of the camera man, and the shooter. The deer behind the kill shot, was probably well off to the left of the shot placement.

I have shot deer both ways just like that video I shot 1 in the chest did not go far at all, and also like the 2nd video, did not see that big of a deal in it, common!

Boy, I don't think I would have taken it due to the brush, but like said, there were differences between the camera's angle, and the shooter himself, so perception was skewed.
