Where a deer's off-side leg is when you shoot.....and where it is when your arrow gets to the deer can be two distinvtly different places. I shot my first doe this year from 8yds. In the time she bolted to leave.....I think her front leg moving back to bolt broke my arrow off at the fletch. I can't think of another plausible reason why my arrow broke.
Here's the entrance....
And the exit........
These are amazingly fast reacting animals. If alert....nothing they do surprises me. I still think she snapped off my arrow with her leg while it was going through her.
Christine....
Just so I'm clear....Are you saying that the arrow backing out is "rare"....and that the most plausible reason why you often have exit wounds is the BH working it's way through the body? Just trying to understand your last post.
