Do you reach full draw when shooting?
I only ask this because a friend of ours came down from Maine to hunt local whitetails years ago. He shot a 60# Chastain Wapiti.
At the target butt he drew back easily enough and released instantly when he hit anchor. All looked good.
In a ground blind, I was with him and watched him take a shot at a doe, and he released when his hand was 6 inches from his face. Never made it to full draw. When I commented on it, he assured me he reached full draw, but I was a foot from him. Not even close.
So a year later we went on a hog hunt, same scenario. Fine at the target, short draw on game,
terrible penetration. He got mad at me when I told him he let go 6" in front of his face again, but this time 4 other guys saw it.
So just saying, look at all possible reasons, not just arrow weight.
Sounds like quite a bruiser of a buck!!
