musky hunter Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sorry to hear of the troubles. Here is where I'm having a problem:"Her 2nd shot was a 23 yard broadside shot. I watched the lighted nock and arrow hit the deer a little high and back but not terrible. BUT there was absolutely no penetration."To me, a little high and back is under the spine but in the upper rib cage. How does any broadhead not penetrate? At any rate it was a disapointment. I'm not sure what happened and it may not be the fault of the broadhead. That being said, I switched to G5's this year, because I got tired of the mechanicals deploying every time the blade gets bumped. Resharpenable, no inserts, just a solid head. Lots of good choices out there. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totally_addicted Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 I don't know why it happened the way it did, but I had a clear view of the deer and I found the arrow. I'm as baffled as the rest of you when you read the story. All I know is I trailed it for as long as I could, then I searched, searched, and searched some more. We switched to Thunderheads last night and shot about 25 arrows through the bow. We left shooting well: The thunderheads seemed to fly true and we are looking forward to another opportunity soon.

sticknstring Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Looks like you've got her dialed in. Can't wait to hear the success story and pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottomdweller Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I hope she gets the oppurtunity soon with those thunderheads, I dont think she will be dissapointed. Ive been shooting them for twenty years and have never failed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat-Run Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've lost my share of deer via unforeseen twigs so I can feel your pain. Your attitude is definitely in the right place so I would expect another post but with a grip'n grin story to follow!!! Keep up the good work.MR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
