Someone answer the question.
On both of the deer that I shot, when the arrow hit there wasa loud "popping" sound. What causes this sound? It was totally unexpected. On the first one, I thought I had hit a limb or a twig that I hadn't seen. The second was wide open and I still heard it. Anyone know?

Where did you hit them? In the shoulder? Behing the shoulder? Could have been your arrow breaking a rib or hitting bone of some sort...

It's not my bow making the sound. It's quiet. The sound is after the shot... on impact. Also, believe me, my arrows are spined correctly.

Maybe you're just hearing the beloved THWACK.

I'm sure of it, but these were the first deer I've shot. I'm curious to find out what causes that "thwack". After I dismissed the idea that I'd hit a stick, my second thought was that it could have been the mechs opening, but I ruled that out.... I'd practiced with them and heard no simliar sound.
