Oh you're hooked now! It'll be the first of many if you stick with it very long.

BTW, this was my first Arrow I made, wood shafts ended up not the correct spine I needed. And those were feathers I got from Magnus.

I was really practicing shooting the new setup. And the arrow was pretty beat up allready. Previous I was hitting the 10 ring! Just got tired and over shot.

I counted at least 3 excuses.

 

Hey hang in there.Those skinny saplings are a lot harder to hit than that block target!

Great track job, the littles are better to eat than a big ole oak.

see if a crock pot will help!  

Nice penetration. I think that counts as a pass through.    

Looks to be a direct hit but those saplings are tough.

wow!  good job!  It's hard to hit a target that small!  

There is an archery competition called a wand shooting. You're ready!

I got one just like that, a few years ago, whilst shooting at a doe. I remember thinking "easy shot, hit just left of that saplin'..."

Couldn't of hit any more in the center!

Can't say it was my first one, but I've "killed" a few like that.  

That was great penetration! What's your set up!

aim small , hit small tree    :D

right thru the heartwood !

:D

LOL
Had one like that at a 3D shoot. Took forever to get it back.  

After many trials later, I came up with this version which I did not take pics, but I was killing the block deer in the vitals at 25 yds!

 

It's not a completed arrow, need a cresting tools or a really steady hand...Magnus feathers, wood cedar shalft cut dowm to stiffen it, however, I really need a stiffer spine.

Oh, BTW, thanks to the gr8t help, advise, and all items I bought right here on Trad Gang classifieds, the arrow above is just an example of it all put together!

Now, if a suicidal Deer would just get close enough!

JL    

Yep, perfect heart shot!

Looked like it was about to charge!

Many years ago (around 1973 or 74, I drilled a sapling with a Bear Grizzly. I was shooting at a Doe while scouting. My buddy, who thinks I'm way too lucky, even cussed because he thought I hit the deer. While searching for blood we found my Bear Razorhead  through a sapling like your shot.

My only regret....I cut about 6" of that sapling and left the broadhead in it.  Somehow, back at college I lost track of the "trophy".  I wish I had kept it.  

Thanks for your picture...it brought back a long ago memory.
