Whitetail #2
« on: November 18, 2021, 05:35:41 AM »
I was blessed enough to take doe #2 and whitetail #2 for the season last night.
The shot was between 18-20yards. I forgot to step it off with all the action that occurred after I shot her, including an encounter with a mature buck that got away. The arrow broke her front left femur on impact. The arrow stayed in her, but penetrated out the far side of her.
Primal Tech Longbow
41#@30”
Surewood 75/80 11/32” shafts
200 grain Grizzly Broadhead w/ 100 grain woodie weight
Total arrow weight at 771 grains

I guess an arrow that heavy will break a leg bone and keep going! Congrats!

Bisch, you are correct and I stand corrected. The femur was not broken since it is in the back leg. The arrow broke the humerus bone in the left front leg. Thank you to everyone for the congrats and attaboys.

Good hunting to you all.
May the wind be your friend, and may your arrows fly true,
Most of all, may the appreciation and the gratitude of what we do keep us humble......

The heavy arrows really did their job well on her. So did the broadhead. She was down after a forty to fifty yard run on three legs.
