Title: Complete Pass Through?
Post by: Wannabe1 on May 30, 2013, 07:08:00 PM
So, what do those of you who have been at traditional archery for a long period of time, consider a complete pass through? Arrow passing completely through and hitting dirt/tree. Or, arrow still in body of animal but, broadhead sticking out the opposite side. Just looking to clarify for my own knowledge.   :thumbsup:

a PASS THROUGH to me is the broadhead makes a hole on opposite sides of the animal.


a COMPLETE PASS THROUGH is the arrow ends up in dirt on opposite side.

Thanks everyone.

Brock: That is kind of how I was summing it up but, just wanted to make sure others thought the same.

Im with Brock on this one. As far as clear definitions go, I think he hit the nail square on the head.

Dang Charlie, that's some serious blood trail right there! How far did you have to go?
Title: Re: Complete Pass Through?
Post by: Charlie Lamb on May 30, 2013, 08:08:00 PM
60 or 70 yards and just under that green pine in the background. All down hill, so too far!

Two holes is good enough for me.

We always called a pass through when the arrow comes completly out and complete penetration when the broadhead comes through the opposite side of the animal but is still in it .

We call an "exit" if the BH is poking out with the arrow still inside. We call a "passthrough" when the arrow has completely gone through to the ground. I prefer passthrough because the animal don't freak out and run so far and my arrow usually is not broken, and two holes are unplugged for max bleeding potential.

I call in the dirt a complete pass through and complete penetration when there's two holes, but arrow is still in.

It is not a pass through unless the arrow HAS completely passed through the deer/target, not just penetrated the opposite side.  If the arrow is still in the animal, obviously if has not passed through.  2 holes works pretty well, though.
