[QUOTE="deleted member, post: 328764, member: 816"] i don't bow hunt much anymore and haven't a whole lot in the last 15 years. but, i did kill a few deer about 12-17 years ago and briefly used mechanicals. first 2 were killed dead within 50 yards with nice big trails. 3rd was never found. complete pass through, found arrow, it failed to open and very little blood. i often wondered about why. my final analysis was... 15 yard shot, arrow moving mach 10 (actually probably right around 275 fps), the band that held it closed was maybe a bit too big/thick and i managed to not hit anything remotely hard (rib or shoulder). i never switched it up that year and killed another a week or so later with similar results to the first two. nonetheless, i haven't used them since. i've gotten a bit more picky about what i am willing to kill these days and i'll be fucked if i will risk that happening again on a buck big enough that i am willing to kill it.
