Great story!!! Thank you for taking us along. I'm surprised Mr. Green didn't give you an A+ grade in his post after having you "rewrite" your paper.   :p    ;)

Doug Campbell + ten yards + small hole + animal=trouble for the animal. I watched Doug one day in a very, very thick briar patch thread an arrow through a small hole into the head of a cottontail, still don't know how he got an arrow through that mess.......

Way to go Doug, great job!!!!!!

I missed this long version.  However, it was better hearing in person today.

Congratulations again Doug.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
