Congrats bzz . . .you going to post a picture? What broadhead did you use? Where did you hit her?
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Good job on the tracking bzz! We'll be looking forward to seeing the pictures.bzz wrote:shot her trough the lung and stomach and it came out her hind leg .im useing 100 grain wasps the ones that came with the bow.wow they do make a big hole giong in. any suggestions on what to buy in terms of bolts and broad heads ony have 1 left
Broadheads . . .if you want to stick to the fixed blades, then I'd suggest getting some Slick Tricks. If you want to try some medchanicals, then I'll suggest the Trophy Ridge Hammerheads. Both come in a 100 grain, so there would match your current set-up and these broadheads have more cutting surface which normally make for a shorter tracking job. I also found them to be more consistant than the Wasps.
