I killed my first with a crossbow last year, and it trashed the broadhead and the shaft, but I did get a full pass-through. I'm stuck with a crossbow because I can't draw a string on a vertical bow due to a AK bullet that went through my forearm and left a 1.5" exit hole. Doesn't work right any more, so I'm lucky I have the option to use a crossbow. Me and Mrs Fl-NC can eat 3 deer a year, and I can kill 5 statewide per season. If I max out and get 5, I will be donating some meat to some non-hunting friends who aren't doing great financially.View attachment 865363 I got this a few weeks ago. My first with a crossbow. I still prefer an upright bow but wanted to try one.
You’ll notice it didn’t pass through. The broad head actually WAS protruding out the other side but upon review it hit the humerus on the way in, bent one of the blades, and that slowed it down significantly. Bent or not, it took out both lungs and severed the aorta. No complaints here. Except for the cost ($40/3), I’ll complain about that. I’m hoping to get another soon. I need four/year. After that, I stop hunting. I’m about filling freezers.
