Has anyone seen this ad for Luminock? This is really terrible..I can't believe they would release this. Watch the shot at 2:20.

Not good but why is he the only one advertising? hate to see any product on this site unless we are talking about, not just for the reason to sell.

Personally, I think the shot at 2:30 was FAR worse! lol

The shot at 0:47 was pretty far back. Might have left that one off the footage.

The shot at 0:47 was pretty far back. Might have left that one off the footage. Back, and low.  I can see the merit of showing the misses, so that you can clearly determine that you did indeed miss. And, the money shots look even more money when you can see them....but... I think it should be implied that you will also be able to see a bad hit...watching bad hit, after bad hit kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth...and it's Luminock that put it there, unintentionally, but they did. |

I have to agree that showing misses is a better image than showing bad shot placement on an animal.
It seems that so many companies and prohunters are looking for footage that they are willing to put out what ever they have bad shots or not.
This site is full of above average hunters and we see what most of the hunting community will overlook.
This ad will sell product just because of the entertainment value of being able to see your shot and nothing else.
In the past I have purchased hunting videos just to see some of the prohunters making bad shots and claiming how great of a shot they just made but the recovery of the animal proved other wise.
We have all seen this time and time again and the ad is selling product not hunters ethics or shot placement.
Anything that will boost sales for them or put them on a hunting show, bad shot or not as long as the shot is in frame and clear they will use it.

In reality in Ads I am not 100% sure I would show the majority of the shots unless they are perfect. I am pointing out the obvious but these shots will get far more critisim from animal rights activists who dont understand the science of game management. May put this on video that are purchased and show target shot on open media ads. PR has to happen for the whole specturm of the population not just for hunters.  |
