I took my first deer with a crossbow this december . A nice doe came up to about 22yrds and I took her just behind the shoulder blades I was sitting on the ground she was slightly down hill . She ran about 45yards and floped over . I did not even break the arrow it was lying beside her . The Excalibur Exocet did the job . This makes deer harvest # 45 . My freind took a few pictures but not to good .
