Bummed! :(

Will H:
Man I hate that for ya... It's happened to me more times than I'd like to admit with stone and with steel heads. For me the problem was short drawing. You gotta think that 50# bow at 27" aint much at 24"... Not sure if that's what's happening but at least for me that's what I struggle with. Sounds like you got the right setup and I know your heads are leathal. So just don't let it get you down brotha.

gstoneberg:
O no!  That bow I built you let you down. :( :(  I am depressed. :'(

H Rhodes:
I doubt it's your points - they are exellent.  How far away was your shot?

Stringman:
George I refuse to believe the bow is the problem. Your bow shoots like mine does and mine was clocked at high 150's. your bow might even be shooting faster than mine (although I would hate to admit that  ::) )

There has been this little niggleling thought in my head about short drawing the bow. I was struggling with that over the summer, but took steps to work thru it. Will might have hit the nail on the head. That would certainly explain a lot.... Normally though, I would not have drilled the spot I was focused on had I drawn short. The distance was a respectable 18 yrds so it was on the edge of my comfort zone.

turtle:
Do you ever practice from your tree stand? I ask because sometimes from a tree stand shooting downward you can reach your anchor point,  and still be short drawing because your angling your bow arm down. It takes practice to learn how to bend and twist at the waist to be able to keep your form on steep angles.
