[QUOTE="isaaccarlson, post: 2674457, member: 33850"] My son shot a deer this year at almost 50 yards (I forgot to tell him how far he could shoot). The bow was sighted for 25 ish yards, so there was a good foot of drop yhat he didn't account for. I watched feom the house as the deer came in and then it turned broadside and I knew he would take the shot. (I taught him to "shoot the apple off the post", or aim just above the leg to hit the heart.) I saw the deer run off and he stepped out and gave a thumb up, meaning "good hit". I saw the arrow stuck in the dirt and we went to check it out. He told me he watched it hit her right in the heart, but the arrow was full of fat and brisket bone. We slowly and carefully tracked the deer so as not to spook it. After about 40 yards we found her laying in a heap. Not much blood on her trail. We took a look at her and the arrow had gone right through her heart and out the bottom of her chest. That explained the fat and brisket bone. The bow was shooting ~360 fps and he was inside a box blind, so she didn't see him. She heard the bow and had time to react, dropping right into the path of the arrow that would have gone cleanly under her belly. She was not alert and her head was up. The only thing she was able to react to was the sound of the string catch slamming down, and she dropped well over a foot before the arrow got to her. [/QUOTE]
