Whew, that's... that's outstanding.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

They simply don't make britches strong enough to contain the mess I'd make. Ferous gonads.

Very nice Buff!  Congratulations!

What a great lesson for us all - 10,000 arrows - that is the kind of practice it requires to go on autopilot.

Thanks for sharin' the hunt!

Buff, can you give some details on the performance of your set up? Did you hit bone? How did your broadhead hold up? What kind of arrow did you use?

I used a heritage 350 shaft with a Beman flash shaft inside of it. A 125 grain brass insert and a 200 grain GK head. I penetrated the ribs on one side and it went in 20". It center punched the heart. The trackers brought me the head. I hit it on a stone a few times and it is ready to go again.
