1st Deer since picking up a Parker Terminator Crossbow.
Finally got a chance to go hunting with my son. He came home on leave for a little dose of heaven before having to return to Iraq for a second tour. Sure wish it had been him that got the shot but, I passed on a 8pt that was with this little fella. Maybe he'll get a shot at him over the next 4 days. That was my plan anyway. Now I have to admit, I am addicted to this crossbow stuff hook line and sinker now. The Parker Terminator did it's job. The 3dot truglo so far has tracked very well and appears to be repeatable to 50 yds. Now all I want to add is some of those glowing nocks.

I had one heck of a tracking job on this little buck. If you notice in the photo, I hit this buck dang near perfect behind the shoulder while he was standing broadside. The bolt went in between the ribs, turned immediately downward and exited the stomach just in front of genitals and hit the opposite side hind quarter. We tracked this buck over 400 yards before recovery. Anyone with any idea why that bolt turned like that by all means chime in. This has been very puzzling to me how a bolt could do that. I was shooting a G5 mechanical broadhead @100grains.
Anxious to hear any comments on this bolt exit thing.
Good luck to all.
Smokepole, I see you are still hanging around. Hope to hear from you again soon.
