            I shoot a 60# Robertson Stykbow, with carbon express heritage 250 arrows, Abowyer Brown bear head with 100 gr. insert. 21% FOC

            First buck was 21 yds. broadside walking left to right. Good penetration with arrow exiting behind right elbow as seen in the picture. Blood trail was very good, and the buck piled up approximately 50 yds. from initial impact.

            Second buck was 17 yds broadside standing. Shot was forward of where I wanted it to be, and entered through the right scapula(see picture), went through the cranial thorax, severed right rib number 4 and lodged under the skin of the right brachialus. The blood trail was very poor, and the buck ran approximately 150 yds.

            There was no broadhead damage, nor was there arrow damage on either deer.

              That’s one heck of an exit wound! Thanks for taking the inside hide shot, which demonstrates Ashby’s “twisted cloth” effect of a single-bevel that’s still turning when it exits, “winding” the hide around itself so that the exit hole is large and ragged. From the photo, it would appear the buck was shot from almost straight above? Congrats and thanks for sharing. Doc is still mending from multiple ailments but will be back to catch up with us soon. Cheers, dave

                Dave I don’t see the hide pic showing the exit from the inside out.

                The one above I think is the scapula and hole.

                Hope I’m not seeing things

                    David — you’re right! I saw the geshtalt, not the details … probly the fault of posting during happy hour! Thanks for correcting my vision. Doc Ashby, having been an eye doc, would get a chuckle. But still, a darn nice hole, eh? Cheers, deadeye dave
