Why would you do that intentionally? makes no sense to me... i know it happens now and then, but i couldn't see a good reason to do it on purpose.   Kirk

Here ya go Terry... A couple pics on the tiller tree why i'm balancing limbs and bringing the draw weight down a bit. Check out that string angle at full draw here.
Easy on the fingers...

Quite impressive Steve; congratulations.

I don't even do it intentionally with a rifle. I hate having to throw away a bunch of ruined bloodshot meat.

Incredible harvest

Wow, quite a feat.  A friend of mine and taxidermist in WV, Bill Mason, killed a huge cape buffalo bull last year with a Wallace Mountain longbow (ASL style) by Dave Wallace with one arrow at ten yards. It was Bill's second.  He has an incredibly beautiful "Africa room" in his home full of his African trophies.

For me, even on broadside shots I avoid the shoulder bone. When i was shooting 55lbs and arrows weighing 580grs I never penetrated enough with a two blade when i hit the shoulder by accident. Now I use a big three blade or four blade broadhead or a simmons and aim a little farther back just to make sure i miss the shoulder. I've recovered every liver shot deer I've had, probably because of the size of the broadhead doing so much damage.

I have had no issues with shoot through mesh. Just don't use mechanicals.

All bows are not created equally, and you'll find a lot of difference in performance from one design to the next at a shorter draw lengths. Very few bowyers build draw length specific bows for higher performance at shorter draw length because the majority of archers average between 28-30". With that being said.... There are bowyers that can do this for you.... Just saying.

You'll have no finger pinch at 27" and 64"-66" bow length. I also draw 27" and shoot R/D longbows of 58", 60" and 62" comfortably.
