Yup Nate, angling back is bad. Broadside or some angle forward is the ticket. Glad you understand the trials us archery hunters face. Deer can be very close, but that doesnt always mean we should try to take a shot. You exhibited excellent decision making. Congrats on a great hunt.

I have a Double Bull deluxe blind, and with positioning just right, I can shoot up to a 62" bow if I cant it up into the peak. Got to be very careful though. A 58" or even a 60" is better of course.

Those are Easton Legacy , they sure do look like real wood arrows footed no less .

Thanks shadow hunter your right though even if they're 5yards it doesn't promise a good shot. I have killed probably 25 deer with a bow and only 1 of this was a frontal shot. I got lucky and found him but like I said I'll never do that again. I've lost 2 that I shot quartered at me. That's how we learn and grow as hunters I guess. It was a hard drive home second guessing myself but I know it wasn't a good clean shot. Hunting with recurves and longbows take it to a whole new level and appreciation for the sport and the hunt. Wouldn't have it any other way. If I had an xbow or compound I could've tagged out opening night lol. That's the crazy part.
