I decided to take my metal detector out in the woods to see if I could locate the arrow, long shot but just maybe! After about an hour and a half of multiple pass searching, and sitting where I had shot from and visualizing where the arrow could have gone, I finally found it, but could have left the metal detector at home!
It was sticking in a tree, app. 7' off the ground, and app. 58 yds. from where I had been sitting. I would have to say I was just a little off!
It was almost dead center in the tree though. Apparently the broadhead opened prematurely and either hit the stirrup or just flew totally crazy upon firing, looks like fixed blade from here on.
Worse yet, when stepping off the distance back to where I had been sitting I heard a deer blow and saw some deer going through the brush. When they got to where I could see them, there was a doe in the lead with 4 racked buck following her and grunting, looked like a darn deer train going through the woods!
I will be in there with the gun!
