Title: pass thru
Post by: reinmb on October 18, 2010, 10:21:00 PM
I had my first true pass thru on a deer this last weekend.  The easton full metal jackets tipped with muzzy phantoms made a believer out of me.  Shot placement probably helped also, the arrow went thru both lungs.  I cant take much credit for that, due to the fact that I missed one at 6yrds earlier that morning.

Good deal!  :thumbsup:

As for missing one of those sure shots, we've all done that. It's just part and parcel of being a bowhunter.

Congrats. I kinda had the same thing as you but in reverse order.  4 does came in, i shoot the first one, double lung pass thru at 28 yards.  The other deer scatter and one is standing under me at 16 yards and proceed to miss her, over her back.  

I can still remember my first pass thru.  Great feeling.

I prefer to miss rather than wound. So you saved the good shot for when it counted.
Congrats!!

I almost forgot.  I shot it with a 54# BW PMA2.  As a matter of fact it was the first deer I have killed with this bow.

A celebration is in order.

If your family had depended on the meat, the second deer would be the only one remembered.

Congrats!

Widows are dangerous bows when on the reviving end. Your first pass through and many more to come.
congrats
