Well found out tonight deer will jump the string on Xbow too I had a really nice 10 at 40 yards and shot right over the back. So for everyone who thinks it is cheating shooting xbow I have found out this season it is still pretty tough still have to get them close. Man I am so upset I hunt public land and would of been nicest buck i had ever killed he must of dropped a ft I am sick. Man I had this deer mounted on the wall already lol

At 40 yards, yep.Originally posted by rbertman View Post
My brother shot a spike at 40 yards a couple of years ago on a public draw hunt.
He purposely aim low and ended up spining him still. -

Ya when your weapon sounds like a gun going off, they tend to drop a bit.
You'll get him!Comment

Try and get him a little closer. 25yds or less is what I shoot for and 15 or less is optimum.

I keep my shots no father than 25 yds - heard and have seen too many stories like this. Too much too chance outside of that yardage regardless of speed and sound. Losing a deer is just a heartbreaking experience. I want my deer dead at a minimal track. The last few years its been hard enough getting a shot at one so I want it to count.
There is a big difference between shooting foam at 40 and 50 vs a deer with any type of bow
Some are lucky and it works out.
Positive thing in this is that you didnt end up with a bad hit. Hope you get another shot at him.Comment
