just wondering, lets say I shot an average size deer at 10 yards from the ground with a shavig sharp wensel woodsman out of a 48# longbow, its a double lung hit and a complete pass through, how far will it go before it dies and how much of a bloodtrail can I expect, I missed a doe last night at 10 yaards and was wondering what would have happened if I hit her in the right spot

depends how startled she was by the shot and how relaxed she was Prior to the shot. I shot a doe this year, That WALKED 10 yards after the shot and just fell over, I dont think she knew she was shot be cause she was in the middle of SNEEZING when I shot her. I used a 2 blade G5 broad head I dont have the heart to use a WW on does LOL!!

I can tell you that she wil not go farther than 100 yards no matter what, perect double lung and pass thru, they are done quick. I have had them just stand there after a hit like that and take a step and fall over dead. Ialso have had them keep eating after the hit. Shawn

Keep eating????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow what a sight!!

You must be some shot to slip it past the ribs so clean!!!  .....lol    

Well done!!

I will have to agree less than 100 yrds, and if you hit them low enough in the lungs there will be a good blood trail to follow.

Depends on quite a few things.I've had double-lunged complete pass-thru's on deer go anywhere from 10-15yrds and just fall over,and I've had them run 150 yards all out,and everything in between.I don't think there's any average or definate answers.

Ive had them run from 30 to near 150 yards

are there good bloodtrails with WW

The biggest buck I've killed to date simply stopped walking, looked around and fell over dead. Like Shawn, I've had several jump a little then go back to browsing or just walk off.

A sharp broadhead that hits no bone is relatively painless. Like cutting your self while shaving, you normall don't realize it until you see the trickle of blood.

Regardless, a deer that is double lunged isn't going far...usually less than 40 yards.

My largest buck ran almost 150 yards after a clean double lung hit.  After 75 yards there was no blood to trail and I finally found him on a hunch.  I was doubting myself at the shot placement before I finally found him.  Dressed weight was 185# so he was close to 200# live weight.

150 yards is the maximum I've seen on a double lung hit.  

On average, I'd say they won't go much over 100 yards. I did see one doe that went 300 yards after a double-lung pass through, but the deer was extremely wired when it was shot.

No one can really say,you have to experiance it yourself.jonesy

My experience: almost always <150 yards.  Usually <100 yards.  Most frequently around 60 yards.  Occasionally, <20 yards.

I like it when they run a semi circle, they go away and then get closer. most of the time inside 150 yards.

I like it when they run TOWARDS the truck!  

if a deer is relaxed when its shot - I would expect it to drop at about 60 yards with a double lung hit.

I have shot deer through the heart that didn't hear it coming; that started feeding; fell over; and one buck that bred a doe and fell off of her quite dead.

If a deer is alerted; then it will really pick um up and put them down; and cover ground. If the arrow hit where the shoulder can come back as it runs- it can keep blood from coming out as it would when the wound was not covered.

Then too; hit a bone; and the deer will travel further- due to the shock to the system. A two blade head between ribs; it is like a shaving cut; compared to taking a baseball bat and hitting a rock. ( don't try that at home).

Another thing is the arrow that does not pass through. If its swinging around or slapping the deer; it will go further.

Deer normally run from danger into the next cover; and then put their tail down; and check their backtrail: to see if they are being followed.

If they are hit they can tend to do the same thing; to run a distance and stop and look back.

A lung hit collapses the lungs; and the oxygen stops going to the brain real fast; and they hit the ground when that happens- but toss in some adrenaline and they will cover more ground.

This shows itself real well with gut hit deer. They will lay down within yards; and die there; but if they get pushed; they can run for miles.

Timing is really important in bowhunting. Waiting for a shot at a calm deer is not always possible; but always preferable!
     

Sorry Jason, I ain't buyin it.

Matty and Brian make very good points   ...Van

Double lungs, 100 very possible, 150 maybe, 300 No way.... I have never had a double lung go over 100 yrds...

300 on a double lung hit not happenin, however i have had single lung deer take me over a mile.
