my opinion. u have no no business shooting through brush with an arrow.

RE: Shooting through brush...
 

Made this mistake and missed an eight point two years ago...I was hunting from the ground on a well used trail leading through some thick stuff. Had this guy walk right up to me, I mean you would have thought I was in a petting zoo no more than ten yards away the problem was he was behind some brush, even touching it if you will, I had already drawn and he stopped and looked right at me for like seemed like forever he finally turned broadside not being able to hold the bow back anymore I tried to find an opening and released...

Long story short the arrow did deflect and I learned a very valuable lesson...Don't Shoot Through Brush!!!

RE: Shooting through brush...
 

ive done it.....TARGET shooting. just to see the effects.

long story short, try it...youd be suprised. even tinnnny twigs can throw your arrow off a good ways...and ive done it with my target directly behind the twig...changes the angle and POI QUICKLY....

i wouldnt recommend shooting through anything with a live animal being the target.

I'm surprised that this is even a thread.

Not a chance, I would rather let the deer walk..

That's not really all to worry about. I took a shot once down an old road. There was a clearing with a big doe graising in it. A small branch had hung down slightly giving what I thought was a slight chance to bothering any thing. Once I let the arrow fly it nicked the branch. I do not think it bothered any for as far as KE went but it did cause the deer to jump. Fortunately the branch was just far enough away so the deer jumping straight up cleared the arrow. Now had it been closer and I struck the deer with the arrow. It would have been a bad hit and would of required alot of hard work tracking to recover it. I wouldn't had preffered that. So there is alot more to concider when shooting through any kind of branches.

The best advice is simply don't do it..

Because the answer is so obvious I was just surprised the question was even asked. I'm not busting your stones.If it helps some newbie, I'm all for it but I am a little surprised a guy like you who isn'tgreen would pose it.
