I'm surprised that this is even a thread.
Why ?:eek:

I wanted to know everyones feelings on the matter, so I asked...I dont see an issue with 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.

precedent has already been set

Shoot through brush, it won't work. You don't believe me, go out in the yard and try to shoot "THROUGH" a limb, briars anything. You more than likely will not make it most of the time. Arrows will be broken or lost, critters wounded or missed etc. I don't shoot through brush.... but I will shoot through HOLES in the brush, big difference.

My bow is very quiet. Deer don't here it. Shot a deer once, twice through brush. The first was a clean miss, the second won me a contest. It actually came back to see what hit the ground:D I practise the shot and before anyone jumps on this, ask yourself first, have I ever missed? I'd practised the shot during the summer knowing it would have to be made.

Ever read any Howar Hill books?:DHe's a guy I could hunt with. Even at a 50% hit ratio I'm still 100% better than him. LOL:DHe won a few things too.

DT, just keep that Rage on the front and you can go through anything that is 8 inch in diameter or less. Brush, trees, rocks, its all good.

Brush no way! A thin cover of river canes...yes at close range. Rattled in an killed a 7 pt. buck from the ground, had to shoot through a very thin cover of thin, fragile canes or weeds. But a big difference between brush and fragile canes. The canes were all but dead, brush doesn't forgive.

I have shot deer on the other side of brush.The brush covered the kill zone,BUT I could still see the kill zone.The key was I KNOW my arrow trajectory and I shot OVER the brush and hit the heart and lungs of the doe.She went 20 yards.;)


The situation dictates the course of action I will take.


Know your eqipment,know your limitations,know the equipments limitations,know trajectory and make informed decisions from there.

I see what TFOX is saying. Brush in the sight path and brush in the flight path are two different things. But to deliberately shoot "through" brush is totally irresponsible. I don't care what the situation is. And a leaf or two is not what I consider brush.

How do you feel about shooting through brush, small limbs, briars and so on ?
Simple, don't do it.
That about sums it up!
You'da thunk it but here we are 4 pages later. :D [8D]

I messed up once doing it and won't do it again!
