[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2674051, member: 103947"] Until crossbows can shoot 1100 fps, deer will keep dropping at the sound of the string stopping. That's a plain and simple fact despite all the guys disputing it. Sure many and even most deer get dead from crossbows. Those were relaxed and even while they DID flinch, it wasn't enough to clear the bolt. Alert deer or even feeding deer when heads are down are MORE alert. Feeding deer ONLY have ears to use for danger so are on extra alert to any sound even a leaf hitting the ground. Head up, not alert are using eyes and ears. Not quite as concerned because eyes are at work. They can be shot a bit easier. Either way, deer react to sounds differently and many DO duck arrows from this occurrence. If you hunt and kill enough deer, it WILL happen. Some guys have killed a few deer and brag about it never happening. I bragged about never losing an arrow hit deer. 5 dozen deer later, I've tallied up a few. [/QUOTE]
