[QUOTE="Ucsdryder, post: 2950543, member: 94543"] Last year I shot a bull with my bow. He was a really nice 6x6 minutes after shooting light on opening morning. He was standing in a meadow, 29 yards broadside. I released the arrow and said out loud “he’s dead”. We never found him. That was 29 yards and my “perfect” placement obviously wasn’t. A lot easier to see the impact of an arrow at 29 yards than a bullet through a scope at 375. The eyes can fool you is all I can say. [/QUOTE]
