And he is a hawg. Crossbow w 100 grain VPA Fixed Blade 3 blade Shot him at 4 yards head on quartering to Me. I hit him on the inside of shoulder. It sliced the heart, destroyed both lungs, exit led out the off side back groan. He went 50 yards and died. Adrien and Broadhead performed perfectly. My biggest body buck. I could hear him breathing. No feeders, no blinds, and no ozonics. I am so glad I switched from rage which, in my opinion, failed on last year’s buck. | ||

Very good. But wasn't your complaint last year that your deer ran some also. https://forums.accuratereloadi...091013672#7091013672 | |||

It is not that it ran. It was that the arrow only penetrated one mung turned and lodged in the on side groan. This was in a broadside shot w no major bone being hit I switched to a VPA fixed blade over the summer. At 4 yards, I shot all the way through a buck lengthways. I will never shoot those broadheads again. The deer loss these ran too far, too long, and there is no excuse for only one lung being busted. | |||

Bad shot angle. But your vast experience with two bow kills. Far exceeds those who have done and seen hundreds. | |||

No it was not. I am not having this argument with you again. This buck gave a much more difficult heavy bone shot. The last one was broadside and only hit kung and a rib. I know what shot angles are and what got hit on the bucks I shot. Not you. | |||

Congrats… 50 yards isn’t far…you did fine Can’t go wrong hardly with a crossbow at that distance Tons of penetration and must have been super exciting having him that close I shot one with a bow years ago just like from the ground on a stalk. An experience you will remember forever | |||

This one did amazingly well. I have photos where I shatters the ball joint at humerus, slides the heart, but lungs, and excited in front of offside hip. It was nerve wracking to listen to him breath waiting to get a shot or busted. | |||

When they get that close it becomes interesting. The closest one I shot was 7 feet then out to 50 yards. I try to set up for a 20 to 25 yard shot. That seems to be the sweet spot for my bow hunting of whitetails. This is my 56th year of bow hunting. Seen some interesting things. | |||

Heart pounding That is the closest I have shot one. Shot a bunch 45-10 yards. I have only shot 4 past that range 1 was 245 yards 1 was I don’t know. Far for the iron sights I was using, but stoned him w a muzzleloader probably at 80 ish. 1 was 115 yards. Then another at 60 yards. It is just the nature of hunting ridges, under high walls, and draws on the ground. App the rest have been 45-10 yards with this big boy being 4 yards. He came over to eat a robs in the tree we were setting against. | |||

I could not have had a more “emotional” or intense experience had he been 180 inches. I had my souse with me too. She even got a little video of him. | |||
