Damn nice shot!

RE: Why a Heavy Setup(picture a little bloodie)
 

No problem at all with this shot under the circumstances. People have this perception that deer are this magical creature thathasanunpenetrable scapula. Its simply not the case.

AND,exactly why he uses a heavy arrow and heavy poundage,most of us can't shoot that kind of poundage comfortably which is what makes it a bad idea for most.

I have takenvery similar shots on much smaller deer ,I too know what my setup will do and it probably wouldn't have good results on this animal.;)

Looks like a good shot to me did the job, I understand what you are talking about though with a heavy set up.

RE: Why a Heavy Setup(picture a little bloodie)
 

same arrows I'm hunting with this year, hopefully same results. good shot

RE: Why a Heavy Setup(picture a little bloodie)
 

I see nothing wrong with that shot, it's not a dead on chest shot doegirl, penetrating the shoulder blade is not that hard to do if you pull the right weight and heavy arrows, question is....could a Rage do this???????[:o]

RE: Why a Heavy Setup(picture a little bloodie)
 

The key here is do not try to take this shot if you can't shoot through the shoulder.It is quite possible to slip the arrow in behind the shoulder and catch lung(depending on angle) BUT,the arrow will exit through the guts and you have a good chance of only hitting 1 lung and having the intestines plugging the exit hole.

Well, while I still don't quite agree with intentional shoulder shots, everyone here seems to know it takes a stout setup to pull it off. I'll stick with rib bustin';).
Now back to Germ, since it is his thread.:D

I also shoot a carbon express terminator tippped with a 125 muzzy and I would have no problem pulling off that shot.500 grns total arrow weight at 260 fps packs a wallop.All the tv shows has everyone brainwashed into thinking that evry detail has to be perfect before taking a shot,which we who hunted for years knows that is rarly the case.You must be able to make the tricky shots sometimes because nobody has told the deer the rules yet or if they have been told the rules they don't play by them.

ME TOO,unless it is one of those realsmall ones.[8D]
