Passthru
 

Took a 10 yards shot yesterday and had the pins sitting right at the top of the heart. Waited a while then got out of my tree. The arrow was stuck in the dirt with not a sign of blood fat hair. Can't understand it. Is it possible to pass clean thru with no sign of anything. I followed the path the deer took to as far as I saw but no blood. Maybe I clipped a branch or something. What is the general feeling on this. Did I miss or is a clean passthru possible. Help !!!!

Sorry man but you missed.

RE: Passthru
 

I'd have to say it was a clean miss. When you said you lined up the pins on the heart, did you actually see the arrow hit. I have never seen a pass through without any blood, especially on a vital such as a heart.

Yup, that invisible branch got you.

Thats what I thought. The only thing that concerned me was that the arrow only stuck in the ground 2 inches or so and was easy to pull out. I retrieved the arrow and then took the exact same shot with the same arrow. The shot was identical and was close to the aimed spot but it stuck in a good 8 or 9 inches and even left the insert and broadhead in the ground. You are probarbly right about me missing but why the difference in penetration.

miss, clean is clean for a reason.

My money would go on the ever mysterious and hotly debated &quot;duck&quot;..You can't see it a 10yds but it's there.

Chalk up another one.

And by the way, if you can see your arrow hit at 10yds.....bad form...bad form......

I am shooting Vapor 4000 carbon arrows with 73lb pull, I can't see the arrow flight even at 25yrds. But I can see it when I climb out of the tree and walk over to where it is stuck in the ground. I don't see your point about bad form. I am just curious about the difference in penetration.
