So we shouldn't shoot at a target that moves? What exactly are you saying here?

Here we go off to the land of ethicalness, if that's a word.

First GH, let me state the obvious, which I think you already know - it wasn't the broadhead's fault your shot wasn't true. Ok so what. What does that tell us? That you are an inexperienced bow hunter and can't shoot for crap at 35 yards and shouldn't have takent that shot? No. Is a 35 yard shot at a deer unethical? Obviously not. Have you ever shot your bow at 35 yards? Probably. If you were out there with no idea where your pins were hitting beyond 20 yards and took the shot anyway, that would not be cool. Obviously stupid. So you answer the question: was it you or the broadhead? Probably you. As for the broadheads, IMO mechanicals suck. I shot a deer a few years ago with a mechanical that didn't open on impact. I got the deer though - the thing punctured the lung, but would have done a better job had it been open. Went back to good old Thunderheads. It's up to you though - lots of guys swear by mechanicals.

I may be hanging myself out to dry on this statement but come on guys, have any of you ever missed a deer or had a shot go bad? Didn't see that twig in broad daylight perhaps? Just blew the shot somehow? Does that make you inexperienced or unethical? I'd challenge anyone that has been hunting for some time to not admit they have not made the perfect text book shot on every deer. Maybe there's some, but my point is simple: we miss deer. It's called hunting folks. It happens. Could it be possible that we as humans are not perfect and will make a mistake? I've hunted for 24 years - have killed many deer, and yes, have missed a few as well. It happens. Leave the guy alone. And for crying out loud - a 35 yard shot being unehtical? Give me a break man.
