[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 2422558, member: 92702"] I learned 40 years ago that if you hit the right spot on a deer with a bow you will see him die. That spot is fist sized at best and is lower and further forward than a gun. Idea is to get both lungs and cut the arteries off the top of the heart. Make this shot and you will never have a trailing problem. Miss it and you better be good at it. This alone is why bows are a short range weapon. On whitetails inside 20 yes expect a 100% kill and retrieve. At 30 yards it drops to maybe 50%. 40 maybe 30% etc. The furthest deer I ever killed with a bow was the first one. Lucky shot in the liver. Good but long blood trail. After losing a couple I wised up pretty fast, and killed more than my share with a bow. The whole lure of bowhunting is up close and personal. That's why so many turned to longbow and spears. It's like calling birds and fly fishing. It's not about how far you can kill an animal. That's a different sport. [/QUOTE]
