Did you shoot the same heads at the deer that you practiced on a target with??

RE: Letter of Resignition?
 

are these shots from a treestand?remind yourself before shooting to bend at the waist not doing this could be the cause for high shots.

RE: Letter of Resignition?
 

i bought a set of three of the steel forces, shot them some at a cheap foam target, prolly 10 shots total. Then went hunting.

buck i, like i said, i practiced from a stand, i was only about 10 ft up thismorning and i have practiced up to 30 ft without any problems with shooting high.

I don' t care what anyone thinks about this post I' ll stay off if the MODS want me to
But you got to be the a total moron! one sure but 10 seconds later to shoot another you should be ashamed of your self!
Try bowling !![&:]

Hang in there, buddy. Take a small break if feel you need it, check over your equipment and kinetic energy, and get back out there. I think you' re a big man to admit something is wrong and being willing to share it, especially with what has been going on in here lately.

I' m sure there are many people here that would be willing to talk with you through e-mails that won' t flame you and will be able to help you out tremondously. I' m sure you know who they are, so I won' t pump their egos for them :D Drop one or two of them an e-mail and I' ll bet you' ll be dropping deer in no time.

Ok after you shot the heads into foam did you re-sharpen them?
If not then that would account for the poor penetration.
Remember to always sharpen your broad heads even if they have not been shot and just sat in the quiver for a week or so.

Secondly when hunting from a stand dont aim for the impact point aim for where you want the arrow to exit.

I know you have the bend at the waist down pat all we have to do is to get you to aim for the exit hole;)

PA hunter, what point are you trying to make? If it is that you' re an idiot, good job! You succeeded.

RE: Letter of Resignition?
 

Don' t give up. You' ve gotten some great advise here. Form from a treestand is different. If you' re in a treestand, your shots may seem on the high side, but with their downward angle, may actually be good shots. You want to aim for the exit side of the deer.

There' s two problems (one is my personal opinion) that I see. First one is practicing with the same heads you hunt with. If you do that, they need to be resharpened before hunting with them. Second, you' ll never, ever, convince me that a serrated head will penetrate as well as a standard head that' s razor sharp. You want to cut, not tear through the animal. Go back to your Thunderheads, or some other quality broadhead and trash those serrated heads.

Also, FOCUS!!!! Pick out the hair you want to hit, and aim for it. It' s easy to aim at the whole animal when that ' fever' starts to build up in you.

Good luck, and I hope you change your mind about giving it up.

If you shot 10 shots with each head.....they are dull and that is why you are getting poor penetration.

If you shot 10 shots total with your broadheads then they may not be flying as well as you think.......and they are dull. Practice more and NOT with the heads you are gonna shoot at a deer. Get new blades or new heads and replace them before going hunting.

I have the same broadheads and found them to be a little tricky when lining up vanes to blades........made a difference in flight and accuracy. This is out of a bow that groups 2 other kinds of broadheads like darts.

When Aussie says aim for the exit hole.........he means where you want the arrow to come out on the other side of the deer.

Just wanted to clarify that before a Texas heart shot thread shows up tomorrow afternoon[:o];)
