Every year I need to be reminded how stupid of a shot this is. I shot an 8pt on Wednesday. And he was little close for me, and I felt anytime I was going to get busted. So, being overconfident with my bowtech commander and 460gr arrows, I let it fly to his shoulder. I shook my head after I hit the trigger. It penetrated maybe 12" with a thunderhead BH. Good news, is I saw him drop in 40 yards. Bad news is, it could have been a different story. Just for analysis, I tried to see blood. Not a drop up to where he dropped. If this was an evening hunt, this could have been bad.
So even though I hit the heart and it ended well with him expiring in litterly seconds, just a reminder guys, that its a low precentage shot and you could be sick tracking one with no blood. 3" higher, and maybe instead of 40 yards, he could have went more.
Guess I need to add a picture.
