Default RE: 1st Buck with my Martin Hunter

arrowsmit,
"Yes" I've tuned shooting thru paper, but not using bare shafts. I'm shooting Easton XX75 2018's w/feathers, off the shelf.
The two does I took last year with the PSE, I came very close to passing through, and both were shot from treestands. One went down with'n sight,less than 30yds.and the other doe didn't go 100yds. The PSE was suppose to be a 55lb @ 28", but when I checked it on my scale I was getting less than 50lbs.
It's been awhile since I shot the Martin through my chrony, but if I remember correctly I was getting about 185fps. with the 2018's. The Magnus Stinger is the 4 blade version.
I'm just concerned that if I have a marginal shot that's not a pass through, my blood trail will be skimpy and that I might loosea deer.
I don't know ofany other recurve shooters in my location that I can pick their brains from their experiences. That's why I decided to try this forum.
