RE: Shoulder Blade Kill Poll
Your just wanting recovered ......correct ?
Shot 2 before...... recovered 1 in Jan.2003 !
Distance 30 yrds .....broadside or a possible slight qtr to angle
PSE CF Dominator 300 arrow = 350 grains
71#ke @0 yrds .....Mathews Ultra2 ......30" draw 65% let off
100 grain Spitfire 3 blade Pro Series
Tree- apprx. 20 ft up
Estimate 4-5" of penetration = arrow did break around the insert (broadhead was in tact) !!
Don't remember......but I think he was 150-160 lbs (8pt with broke main beam)
Zero = Arrow punched through the shoulder(not the ridge or hardest part) and broke the spine
Actually a fair amount of blood came out of the entry hole ....kind of surprising !
Also tracked and recovered a doe for a friend :
12-15 yrds Qtr towards slightly
Beman ICS Hunter = probably around 370-380 grains
55-58# of KE .....Mathews MQ-32 ....29" draw...80%
Tree ....18-20 ft up
RM Ti-Revolution 100
10-12" penetration (arrow broke as deer ran off)
110 lb doe (hit in the very back of the shldr blade & angled toward the back ribs on the opposite side)
125-150 yrds
No blood trail to speak of
He lost one the following year with a much higher ke set up and a shoulder hit !!
