The big problem with long range shots is flight time. A deer could easily take a step or two forward during a 1 second flight time and that double lung shot turns into a gut shot.

Shooter
Test would've been more accurate with a hooter shooter.
Hunter might've been off on his shot, showing diff impact.
But..... I do agree with the results that deer can drop farther at 40 than 20 and that a faster (and accurate) bow "helps" to cover that gap.
I use a rangefinder and aim at the top of the heart at all distances. If they don't drop, I'm still good. I rarely shoot past 40.

I agree a hooter shooter would have been better, but pretty good info on there non the less! I did notice all the extreme droppers were doe. And never thought about the head down vs head up advantage... or disadvantage
I’ve noticed traveling deer are not a 10th as jumpy as feeding deer (plot, feeder, oak tree) they are always on guard. But a deer walking a ridge or scent checking sometimes never knew they were hit and the deer in group just stand around clueless
Awesome video. Thanks for posting
