RE: My first tag filled with LB
I'd like to see more people use heavier arrows/bolts, even for WT deer. I've seen a lot of shows where guys shooting light arrows and FAST bows don't get good penetration on WTs. Seems to me that a WT shouldn't stop an arrow if I'm getting full penetration on elk with only 163 fps. I've also shot elk and mule deerwith lighter bolts from my crossbow and have not been impressed with the penetration from lighter (500-575gr.) bolts. I lost an elk shot with a 500 gr. bolt because it center-punched a rib (at least that's my best theory). I got a good look at the shot and it was great placement, definitely away from the shoulder bone, about 4" behind the leg and half-way up...OK, I'll get off my soapbox now. Have a great day. Grndhntr.
