The last 4 pictures are actually two different angles of two different shootings. I think one was at 15 and the other 20.
The deer and the bear at the top is roughly 22 yards. Of course, I shot more than these; had many of the same quality of shot, but had a few others that weren't quite as good. My shooting ranged from 41 down to 12 yards. I scored 4 of 6 kills from 38 yards. 2 of 6 at 41 yards. I also scored 5 of 6 kills at 30 yards. Of these, more than half the nonkill shots were piercing air, well the carpet hanging as a backdrop, with no injury to the "animals". At 25 yards I had a 3 for 3 in the kill. But, anything 20 and under was 6 for 6.
I THINK I'm ready. Now, if they'll do this good with broadheads...
My hunting shot I keep under 20 unless I'm ABSOLUTELY sure I can hit it in the middle. There's more to a shot than being able to draw it back and let it fly. There's more to a HUNTING shot than being able to hit the kill on a foam target as well. Focus, Feel and Form. If you're focused on your point of impact, the shot feels good and your form is true; POW. You're in there. Walking deer also tend to elevate the heart rythmn sometimes interfering with good form.
These arrows are keepers.
Frontloader, shoot me a PM. I've got something I've got to do or I'd send you one myself.
