Are you shooting 5" feathers on a hard helical out of your 82nd? Those big feathers spinning through the air like that are difficult to miss.

I know that I can see my arrow in flight. When I release the arrow, I see it. Or I see the fletching anyway. If my arrow is fishtailing, I see it. If it's porpousing, I see it. If it flies straight away, I see it. Sometimes it disappears when it hits the target, depending on light and what the target was, that sort of thing. So I don't ALWAYS see where it impacts. When shooting a deer, I don't know that I see the arrow impact, but I see it vanish. It was there, then it's gone. I guess I don't know if I see the actual impact, or the hide opening up, or hair moving......but I see something. What I have learned as well is........It is almost never exactly where I thought it was. Sometimes it is, but most often it's not.
