Lol ya ya she tells me every day but I have 2 hours let in bow season to change the score.

JW_Halverson:
Atta boy, go down swingin' !

hedgeapple:
Congrats on the fine trophy.  Do you by chance know the grain weight of your arrow? And the speed of your bow?
Was it a complete pass-thru, the arrow laying on the ground or was the shaft still in the deer but the point was sticking out?

iowabow:
Thanks, it was a great day! The fps was 146,  53#25" 500 grain total all up including the point.  The wt of the point was 100 grains. It did not land on the ground on the otherside but was in the deer with about 4 inches sticking out. If shoot a deer at ten yards I am sure it would have passed all the way through. The deer was at 20 yards and I was 12 feet up in a tree stand. After i saw what the arrowhead did I would not change a thing. The trick in my opinion is to have very sharp arrowheads that are well made.
