I have 1 really good one actually
.With what people consider a "flimsy" Rocket mechanical
.
I shot a doe bedded downhill at about 30 yards facing away from me. She was pretty steeply down the hill facing away and I had basically her whole back to shoot at almost like a straight down shot.
I really took my time and burned a hole through her and the release cracked off.
The arrow hit her in the spine and SHATTERED it, I mean blew it into ragged pieces to the point where you could grab either side and completely separate the vertebrae.
The arrow continued through her chest, out her brisket and broke her right foreleg almost in half that was tucked under her as she was laying there.
THis was a good sized doe too.
The bow was a 2001 Bowtech Mighty Might at 70# shooting a 356gr A/C/C at 318fps tipped with a 75gr Rocket Miniblaster.
Needless to say, she didn't travel very far.
Through it, interesting.
I bet she didn't go far.
It hit the low side of it not directly on the spines of the vertebrae and I mean just SHATTERED it. I don't know exactly how it did it but the spinalcolumnwas separated completely it was a sick floppy grating feeling and the whole one vertebrae was in ragged chunks.
It was really wicked. I'd shot deer in the spine before and typically they just stop right there, but this one didn't center it and did more damage than any shot I have seen that did.
I must have hit it just right because it did that AND kept on plowing through.
Why you doubting me!? LOL
