Description: Moments of Truth starring Bill Negley - Traditional Recurve Bow Hunting. Watch Bill hunt and kill Elephant, Lions and more in Africa with a 100 lb recurve bow. Bill was challenged that he could not kill an elephant with a recurve bow. He was bet 10000 to his 1000 dollars. He commissioned Fred Bear to build a 100 lb bow for taking an elephant. This is that story told in Bill's own words. He stars and narrates this film. Nostalgia on the edge of your seat watching him accomplish this and more. If you are concerned that this may be a illegal copy please read the disclaimer below. This is not a illegal copy! This video also comes with 4 bonus short film clips with Howard Hill, Fred Bear and Art Young along with a 287 photo slide show of some of Histories Greatest Archers of a era gone by. Archers like John Schulz. Bob Swinehart, Bill Negley and of course Howard Hill and some others.Many photos of old bows are crammed in there as well. This DVD is my way of archiving our archery history for more decades to come. Honorable mentions but not included are Ben Pearson, Dick Palmer, and Saxton Pope. I hope to continue adding to this collection. If you are a hunter, bow-hunter or traditional archery hunter at heart this may be the only way to get these old movies anymore. This feat of taking an elephant with a bow was first accomplished by Howard Hill years earlier but afterwards some said Howard could not be given credit for this because the authorities would not allow him to do it unless they shot the elephant in the foot first. This made the job much harder. Getting close enough to make a clean kill was made more difficult as this was now a very angry elephant that would trample or charge at anything. Howard succeeded but his job was made a lot more dangerous and difficult. He later managed to accomplish it again much more easily, more humanely and without the aide of a rifle after showing that the elephant could actually be killed with the bow. Bill can make this claim of being first I suppose because his first attempt was made only with a bow but long after Howard proved it possible. I only say this to correct any misconceptions this video may cause. DISCLAIMER This is not a illegal copy.
