I posted a thread about a questionable shot, and my setup used to make and kill the deer. My goal was not for youth hunter or a new hunter to stick a heavy arrow and crank bows up and fling away.
My goal was to show
knowing what your setups can do,
knowinganatomy of a whitetail is key when hunting. I have been on otherend of that same shot with a lighter arrow (and a smaller deer)it was 15 years before and itwas a doe hit in the exact same spot. That was when carbonsfirst came out, that was the year I discovered light is not right for ME
I have learned the hard way like many here, if one is juststarting out, I suggest you stick with broadsideshots. Again it is the person’s choice that is pulling the trigger. I was just showing when one takes the time to learn what their setups can do, know whitetails antonym inside and out. It will make the person a better hunter IMO.
I have learned through my victories and defeats. I shoot a deer when I know its right. Others will have to come to their own way to know when it's right and when it is not.
Funny since 2003 I have had 3 bucks in range; I did not pull the trigger on all of them. Two of them were inside 10 yds. All I can say if you are new to bow hunting listen to these guys here, but make it work for you. I did not just slap a heavy arrow and crank my bow up, I learned through experience. I just thought to share some of it with you guys in hopes some may take some good from it.
Later and good hunting
