Default RE: DAS Dalaa ---- I just bought my third ever "new" bow

I meant did you hit any bones on the one you killed, but didn't get a pass-through on.

Obviously with a heavier arrow and draw weight, you should get better penetration unless the arrow is hitting practically sideways. What's puzzling me is you should have gotten much better penetration that you got with the bow you used, bones or not. Deer aren't built like tanks, even in KS.

There are instances where more draw weight isn't better. I tried bowfishing with my 98@28 flatbow one night. Couldn't figure out for the life of me why I wasn't sticking any fish--I should have been buring my arrow in the mud every shot. Finally shot where the light was shining, and discovered the arrow was hitting the water almost sideways, and veered off wildly as soon as it was in the water. Weird things can happen. It's not my bow and it's not my hunt, but I'm still wondering what happened with those two deer, and hope the DAS is the cure.
