The most frightening thing you are likely to encounter in nature is yourself.

I read about the reflective arrow wraps on this board and boy did it pay off.  After I shot the doe I knew it was a good hit but didn't move for 30 minutes.  When I did walk over to where I thought she was standing I couldn't find any blood or any sign.  

I shined the flashlight back towards the tree I had been leaning against and the reflective wrap glowed between me and the tree.  She was actually a few feet closer than what I thought. I thought she was on the trail 15 yards away but in reality she was about 3 yards off of the trail.  

I walked over to the arrow and saw the blood trail right away. I was only 3 yards away from where I thought she was standing.  I guess 30 minutes of waiting and being in the dark threw off my prespective.  Anyway I believe that reflective wrap help alot and they will be on all of my hunting shafts from now on.

The 125 gr Magnus is fine.  I will have to sharpen it again but I will just smile while I'm getting it razor sharp again.  The arrow snapped about 6" from the nock.  If you look at the photo you can see the arrow with the funny angle to it in my quiver.

An old hand me down recurve sparked the fire, Trad Gang fanned the flames.  There is no stopping now.  Burn baby burn!

It doesn't matter how or what you shoot, as long as you hit your target.
