Saturday was one of those “when things go wrong” mornings. I was hunting one of my urban properties and shot a small button buck. Top limb hit a tree branch with a loud crack on release which threw off my shot. I watched the arrow lob out there wagging back and forth then the Rothaar 4 fletch straightened it out and “thwap”, the arrow sunk right to the fletch just in front of the hind quarter as the deer turned to leave. The whole thing was like slow motion and I couldn’t believe the arrow even made it to the deer let alone sunk that deep when it hit. I was shooting a 53# JD Berry Taipan which, at my draw is about 50#. The arrow was a CX 150 with a Griz 190 out front. The little guy made it about thirty yards and fell over. The Griz cut the artery under the spine that left blood everywhere. Just one of those “rather be lucky than good” kinda mornings for sure.
