Cyclone....maybe I shot a bit high?
I know the arrow looked true and I was aiming at the heart......the arrow didn't actually hit her in the spine. It traveled under the spine.....one blade on a 1 3/4" cut broadhead just chipping the base of the spine.
Not sure of the exact measurements from heart to this artery......just telling you what happened.
Maybe like I said the fact that the deer was in motion it seemed before the arrow ever left had something to do with it......things happened very fast, but that's the image I have. Her starting to drop just as that release was touched.......maybe it was coincidence that the 2 happened at the same time, and she was going at the moment regardless of whether or not I was going to shoot?......I don't know, and obviously will never know.

And I'm not sure why you seem to think you can't have a fast,quiet and accurate set-up all at the same time? This isn't the days of 80# bows, overdraws and bowshots that sounded like the first day of rifle season.
The deer in this example is the last one that I can remember that even reacted to my bow going off.....they simply stand there, get shot, run off and end up in freezer paper.
I've simply got QUIET SPEED THAT KILLS.

But I'm still not sure how you are disputing the laws of gravity based on my example? When you are dealing in hundredths and thousandths of a second, a little head start can mean a HUGE difference and make Sir Issac Newton look like he didn't have a clue.

I do know one thing for sure....my example tasted wonderful.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
And Cyclone......I never miss.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
