[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2864052, member: 68542"] I have 2. My only archery deer was out of a tree stand. Giant 4x4 blacktail (10 point for you easterners) came in front of me. Shooting a 100gr muzzy at about 295fps, 17 yards. I hit the buck square in the onside shoulder and it sounded like a hammer hitting a 2x4. The buck reared up, fell over, and lay there grinding its face in the ground, paralyzed from the neck down. I shot it again through the back strap and down through the heart. Upon inspection, the first shot utterly broke. Broadhead crumpled on the shoulder, and just shocked it so hard that it crumpled. Second was last year. Elk hunting, with a 30-06 shooting 165gr trophy bonds and using a Swarovski z6 2-12. Great setup. A herd ran in front of me and the last was a small yearling bull, which I was happy with. At 18 yards, on a slow run, crosshairs settled right behind the shoulder, I… missed. Flat missed. I have zero understanding or explanation. I followed tracks for a mile and never found blood. Every aspect of the shot felt right, but I just flat missed somehow. I’m still boggled by it. [/QUOTE]
