Do you me it spiraled into the target?

Yes a spiral whatever you want to call it, take your finger hold it in fornt of you pointing forward and as your moving ahead do a circle and that was how the two arrows went.

Do your Easton bolts have brass inserts? If not....lighted nocks are heavier than inserts and causes the bolt to loop inflight. Do you have the right nocks?...half moon nocks loop also.[you need flat] sand paper rolled to the size of inside dia. of shaft and lightly spun really helps all glues stic...

No i did not put any locktight on them yet, and the loop was on the way to the target, i wish i could show the video to you but it is on a old camcorder and can't download the video.

what kind of arrows where they .maybe the inside was not prepped before the inserts went in. i have never made my own laser 11 arrows but know lots i have bought had the inserts fall out or stay stuck in the bag.i started making my own arrows this year using easton power bolts and have not had one ...

Nice buck, hope you have a quad to get him out when you finally do bag him.

Great shot, nice kill. I may have killed one this morning while going hunting, foggy as hell and i cliped him with the SUV, but i just kept going.

Congrats, another awesome buck, and it looks like shot placement was perfect how far did he go?

Congrats, I shot my biggest buck after looking up from nodding off, something about the fresh air that just knocks me out.
