Got my 1st crossbow kill last Saturday evening 9/20. Shot from the ground at 15 yards. He traveled only 50 yards after the shot.
Very nice! Must have been a head on shot and very nice placement on the shot might I add. Very nice, Congrats!!
Congrats on the buck, but that was a poor shot choice with a bow/CB. You got lucky. There's no future in shooting at alert deer.
I agree it is not ideal or recommended. I would not have taken the shot with a vertical bow. In my case I had a clear 15 yard shot to the vitals. The bolt went completely inside the deer which traveled only 50 yards and was dead in less than 5 minutes.
Don't pass blame to the shooter unless you know more about the shot. The frontal shot is insanely lethal. Congrats to the OP.
How? I tought doc was the only means to use the x bow until next season here in mo. Not sure how it works, I am going to have surgery in the next few monthes and I don't know whats going to happen after that.long road
