from a UFFDA [United Foundation For Disabled Archers] in Southern Mo. I left early on the 11th, didn't have time to post prior, as Smoke broke down on his way here and I ran short of time. This was held at Ozark Mountain Outfitters, a true class act run by some great people. I got a hen turkey and made some interesting observations. 1st off, I wasted my money on a lit reticule scope. [L-zone]. If you can't see range finder, it's too dark to shoot, lol, imho. Next, I missed two deer, one at 32 yds and another at 30 yds. Both string jumped me. I was shooting my Emax, 431 gr arrows at 328 fps. I held too high on the 32 yder [mid body], but the 30 yder was about 5' from where I shot the turkey Sun a.m. I held about 4" above bottom of brisket, all shots were from a bench rest, and could not believe the rascals whipped me!! The 1st one at 32 yds, I was in a 16' tower blind and had agreed to let a camera man vidoethe hunt. I held mid body on a small spike that the owner of property asked us to thin out for him, figured the height of stand would even out the extra few yards. We could see the deer on the replay on big screen TV just barely beat the arrow. There was another deer behind the one I shot at and the camera man thought I hit it in foreleg. I was just sick, as I never saw the second deer, but when we found my arrow, it was clean, and later viewing of video confirmed a clean miss on both!! Whew!! Didn't feel so bad after that. Checked bow back at camp, it was dead nuts on. I told Mike [Smoke] when I got home this afternoon, I might as well sell the Emax if they are gonna string jump it. He reminded me that these deer are used to being shot at and probably can out do the Flying Walendas when it comes to acrobatics, lol. So, moral of the story, let em get as close as you can, don't think that just because you have a fast xbow you can tweak the ranges, can guarantee it won't work more than it will.
