A little back round story on this hunt. I was hunting with a home made aluminum riser with a set of 55 pound Samick limbs. I was shooting Easton 1916's cut to 28.5 with a 200 grain woodsman broad head.

Great job! Where did you shoot it? What did you aim for?

At least you found yours.  :(

Shot was not really where I started to aim. I had picked a spot on the wings. As I reached about 3/4 draw he turned to face me. I went in to auto pilot hit anchor and released. I caught him to the right of where the beard starts. We waited a half hour before looking for him. He ended up only making it around a hundred yards before hiding under some briars.
