Probably not what you thought.
I attended a Rick Welch clinic in South Charleston, West Virginia las Saturday. He had me choose an arrow and he stripped the 5 1/2" feathers off and re-fletched it with 4" ones. He moved them back for a secondary anchor and rotated them slightly for better shelf clearance.
I've been practicing with that one arrow as I have not had the opportunity to re-fletch any of the others. (I bought a fletching jig off of the classifieds, but won't get it until late next week.)
I wanted to hunt this afternoon as it is the last day of our annual firearms antlerless season. So I switched the 125 grain target tip out for a 125 grain Woodsman... took a few shots, touched the Woodsman back up and went hunting. There is something satisfying about competing with the big guns.
Just before dark the 15th deer seen, came under my stand. After passing under my stand... at about 18 yards, the doe turned... quartering away. The shot was good. She ran back under my stand and stopped about 10 yards away. After a few seconds she collapsed and went clear down on her side.
After a short prayer for a quick end I got down and walked over. I'd say the prayer was answered pretty quickly as it took all of about 15 seconds from the time the arrow hit until all movement stopped. Took out both lungs.
That is my first with the BW I purchased on here from blacktailbowhunter.
Gotta go check her in now.
