Good entry, bad exit. Me or my equipment?

    I've never had this problem until I changed bow and broadhead. I'm very accurate on the target but 6 of 8 deer shot since purchasing my Hoyt crx and switching to schwaker broadheads had terrible exit positions. The entry points were all reasonable and accurate broadside shots. But the exits all came out drastically far back. I wonder if the broadhead bounces off a rib and jumps off course. Anyone else experience this?

    I am going to go with suspecting either a noisy bow or a noisy arrow/broadhead that is causing the deer to flinch. I tried aluminum SuperLites one season and suddenly started having angle issues until I switched back to a heavier arrow. I had a buddy stand down range and tell me what he heard when I shot and he said he could hear my arrow (2512s) coming. Never had another problem when I switched back to 2219s.

    Just don't shoot your friends.... That's a good way to lose them. LOL
