Title: Oops! Shanked one
Post by: el_kirk on August 09, 2009, 12:44:00 PM
I just started shooting broadheads in preparation for elk season.  I managed to shank one, miss the target completely and put an arrow through the steel shed in our backyard.  When I opened the door to try to get my arrow out I noticed that things were a bit more complicated than I had originally thought.  The unsharpened Grizzly that I was shooting had managed to embed itself in a 1x4 on the other side of the door. With the tip just poking out of the other side of the board and the shaft immobilized by the door it took a good ten minutes to get the arrow back.  

Be careful out there!

I just realized that maybe I should post this as my 'shed hunting" setup in case anyone else could use the information.  Seemed pretty effective!

Pronghorn longbow 60" 58@28 70-74# hex-pine shafts with 160gr Grizzlies.  Drawing about 29", unless I get excited in front of a really big shed. Then all bets are off!
