For those who are interested, the shot was @17-18yards and he was walking & quartering away from right to left. I tried to stop him in my first window with a "mrrp" but nothin doin, he was googly eyed and on a mission... I prepared in advance as he was going behind a screen of small trees then took him on the slow quartering away walk in my last window without trying to stop him again. The shot was absolutely perfect and really hit hard on the exit side. I got full penetration down to the wrap but the fletches never made it through him. He broke the arrow and I only found the back end about 15-20 yards from impact. He sprinted off and stopped at 50 yards, then tipped over in just a few seconds!

For this hunt of course I used my "Dream Bow" which is 53lbs @28, I draw closer to 27.5" along with:

29" 340 Beman Classics with (3)-5" Right Wing Helical Fletches & Black Widow Wraps & footed w/aluminum sleeves

Standard Hidden Inserts, Abowyer 145Grain Right Wing Single Bevel 1-1/4" 2Blade Glue On BoneHeads w/125 grain screw-in adapters

Here's some pics, the arrow entered in the left side and exited out extremely tough lower scapula bone a fuzz from the "T-part of the shoulder bone so "HEAVY". Blood trail was weak, but penetration was impressive.

Here's a Rod placed through the Entrance & Exit Wound Channel to show the quartering angle...



Plenty of trauma on the inside of the cavity during field dressing...
