I held a pointer where the arrow hit then backed up the video. Looks dead center to me.
I used to do a lot of videoing years ago. We have some great slow mo shots of just how far a deer can drop. The cure is to aim low. If they don't move you are still going to make a good shot.

First off I would say that deers body language was nervous as any I've seen.. You could see he was tense and ready to bolt at any second.. Not surprised on the outcome there.. I wonder how far he was shooting from...

I 100% agree with everything you say fingerz!! Hell, I've saw them drop twice that much before. Like you said, that deer was damn nervous!

Am I sensing some sarcasm there? lol

Magic, I put my cursor where I would aim and he hit about 2" higher than that. He was still dead on for a quick kill had the deer not dropped so tremendously. He was pretty much a 12 ring but I would have put about 2" lower. Even still, it would have either sprined him OR the hit above the spine. Any way we slice it, the deer sure as hell reacted and LIVED. :biggrin:

I made a comment about the bow being out of tune and it got deleted.I was even nice about it.:confused0024:

No, I am shooting a Mathews and my wife shoots a Renegade. Both are very quiet, but when the camera is 18" from it they both sound like canons going off

Shot from ground level would dictate a lower shot than from a stand.That point of aim would probably be a dead deer from a stand but from a blind,he lived.

I agree with you, he seemed nervous from the get go. Amazingly quick reflexes, with a deer showing that kind of behavior he should have aimed in very bottom third of chest. Funny story....... I had a buddy once a few years back (non hunter) claim he could react to the sound of a bow like a deer and atleast start moving before the arrow hit the target after watchin a video like this. So I took him outside and put him about 20 yds to the right of the target behind a group of tree trunks and told him as soon as he heard the shot to drop down. It was hilarious watching him throw himself to the ground:happy0157: time after time reacting to the sound of the arrow hitting the target and not the bow. Wild animals and there abilities amaze me.
