No matter how you slice it...it tastes that much better when it was earned the hard way.

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.

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

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

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.   :smileystooges:

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

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!

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.
