i shot a deer earlier in the month with my bow as well. It was my first and i shot it in the ham. lol. but the deer didnt go far at all thank lord. there was no blood or anything. i knew he fell cause i heard him fall over about 25 yards where i shot him. the only way to practice shooting a deer is shooting a real one! practice is good to make sure you on sight but other than that theres no way to re create the real thing! Great job. looking forward to the buck video next. where do yall hunt at?
