Excellent result especially with the relatively 'light' bow and shaft! Good one! :clap:

Not a big fan of heavy arrows.The arrow had hit aa ribb dead center on the way in and left a bulge on the other side.

Outstanding Captain, love the video too mate. I was a bit surprised by the degree of penetration with a 55lb bow. Just goes to show you don't need really high poundage bows to get results.

Awesome! Loved that video! Best trad hunt video I've ever seen!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

And what a fantastic bow to do the job with!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.
