Race for the Next World Record Archery Typical Bull
You may have heard about a monster typical bull that was just recently taken in Arizona by Shawn Patterson. Shawn was guided by John McClendon and Sons and his amazing typical archery bull is coming in with a green score of 432 5/8 gross and 415 net and is a new pending world record for P&Y. The bull is a 7×7 typical and carries great backs and beams.
However, there could be another bull that was just taken that could even challenge this great Arizona bull. This archery elk has the most incredible backs I have ever seen on a typical bull elk. The bull’s fifth and sixth points match the height of the royal points (fourths). I do not know yet what the green score is on this bull, but 430 plus on the gross score would seem pretty safe. He will have some deductions as it has a short abnormal point coming off from the right royal point that seems to be four to five inches long. Also, the left side has a seventh typical point that is not matched on the right side. What state did this bull come from? Idaho.
There has been some speculation about this bull, whether it is a high fence bull or really a fair chase bull. The monster Idaho bull with the huge backs is in fact a high fence bull. It may be a new world record within the SCI scoring method for high fence, but it is not eligible for Pope and Young. There are not too many high fence bulls that actually really make you look twice, or even a third time. Regardless, this bull is very impressive.
So for now, the Shawn Patterson Arizona bull is still at the top for pending records.
