What happened on this shot?!
Crossbow hunting.
A broadside shot at a doe at about 15 yards (ground blind). I found lots of coarse white hair--and the fletching end of the bolt broke off (white hair at the break point on that as well).
The deer ran out into the field. Lost sight of it in the tall grass. Spent considerable time criss-crossing the field looking for blood/signs. Nada.
I'm going back in the morning to be sure, but at this point I want to know what the heck happened and where I hit the deer.
(using carbon bolts and NAP Spitfires). I've taken deer with this setup before...the bow is sighted in properly.
Frustrating. The whole event was a high-percentage setup.
