Default Horton does it's job very well!!

Well I got one! I was sitting on the edge of a cornfield by a creek and 2 does walked out right in front of me. I took the biggest one. They were probably 18 yards or so. Hit it with a double lung shot and complete passthrough with a Spitfire mechanical and carbon bolt. The Horton HD175 smashed it. Jello for lungs. I couldn't find the arrow. It ran about 5 yards and fell over. The other deer kinda jumped on it cause it didn't know what was going on. Then it got up and ran again into the corn. I found her DEAD about 50 yards or less away. My brother-in-law and another guy who had a small buck at the check station said it was about 175lbs after field dressing. We had a heck of a time dragging her back over a quarter mile by hand. I'm going to try to take another smaller doe later next week. Save my buck for gun or muzzloader season. IT FEELS GREAT!
I'm surprised they walked right by me just sitting there along the field. I had a DR appointment and didn't have time to get my new blind out today. Good luck to you all too!!! Hope everyone gets theirs.
