This would make a great article for Primitive Archer Magazine. >:D Ok, now you need to do an article on the time machine.

The one shot, with the shortest penetration was discussed as having a wobble in flight. Good straight arrow flight is super important.

Thanks Billy, great test!

Absolutely! Good shooting form and proper arrow spine really do make a difference on arrival! The point I took away from even the worst shot was how deep the penetration was. The wound channel involved both lungs. I don't care how tough a deer is, take their lungs and they can't last forever. Yeah, they will run and fast. But their ticket is punched on a one way ride. Thank goodness they don't think like grizzlys!

Post by: Dazv on January 21, 2012, 07:16:38 pm: i find it amazing how much penetration he got from a 40lb bow. I hate to see a perfectly good hide getting shot at with arrows(i did learn from the video though), Its funny as i was watching the video i was stretching a buckskin hide over my knees waiting for it to dry.

Post by: Traxx on January 22, 2012, 05:28:42 pm: Seems,i remember,Billy wrote an article about this,in PA,a while back.The thread on the site discussing it,ended up,with a lot of bashing of Billy,for useing the dead doe,for his tests.
Personally,i am tickled to see stuff like this,being brought back to peoples awareness and realization.
