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?

RE: Someone answer the question.
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...

never hured of that could be some extra ke when you hit the deer check yourshot placement could you have hit a shoulder or rib .
might be your bow something lose or to tight get a pro shop to check it out could your arrows be to smal for your draw weight does it do it on a target i have never had this happen but this might help keeps posted |

It would have to be the arrow hitting a rib or even just entering the body cavity. When I shot mine it made a thump sound. I was told by my friends that sound is typical.

It's quiet. The sound is after the shot... on impact. Also, believe me, my arrows are spined correctly. |

ORIGINAL: Predator19 Maybe you're just hearing the beloved THWACK. :D 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. |

I think it is the air in the lungs that give a hollow thump, but if if is a crack...then I would say must be bone doing it.
