Olham,
If the Red Baron shot the bison with a traditional bow i would have been very impressed for that takes a lot of skill.
this is the same topic as shooting down the newbie flying in a straight line after he is in shock. I can recall reading about a dance between Ernst Udet and a enemy fighter. The enemy fighter left Udet alone after his guns jammed early in his career. Now that was a big mistake with 62 kills to his name after the war....
"reportedly dueled with Georges Guynemer in June 1917. Udet would later write that during the dogfight, his guns jammed and the French ace broke off his attack when he saw Udet pounding on the breech of his machine gun. On 26 July 1917, he transferred to Jasta 37 where he scored fifteen victories. From there he transferred to Jasta 11 in March 1918 and Jasta 4 in May 1918". - The aerodrome
