Title: First of the year ...
Post by: Mr.Magoo on September 13, 2008, 11:58:00 AM
About a 15 yard shot, slightly quartering-to.  My lower limb caught my stand at the shot and tried to unhook my platform.

She crashed twice on a death run and only made it about 40 yards before finally going down.

blood at the shot

Good job! No doubt about the results just by looking at the blood. Now you can afford to be picky. Lin

Congrats on the recovery. I personally will not take a quarter to shot because of the small window for good arrow placement. Apparently you made the shot you needed to and put the arrow where it needed to be... so my hats off to you for that. Pat

Great job!! What broadhead are you using?
Title: Re: First of the year ...
Post by: Mr.Magoo on September 13, 2008, 07:11:00 PM
Thx folks.

- Marshall, I was using a Magnus II.  During practice sessions I'd been hitting everything forward (ie shoulder), so I put my snuffers away.

BTW ... it was only a very slight quarter-to, so it ended-up as a shoulder to shoulder shot.
