Yup, too high of velocity from the close shot often results in no pass through.

Details is where you have to be honest. You are going to read the truth as it is excitingly embarrassing!Details on a 12 yard shot!
I was curious and had my wife put the shot "ball" now pancake on a tape measure. Feel free to make fun of the sewing tape but it got the job done!Well done... often the close range hits with pure lead round ball don’t exit but flatten out into a .70 caliber pancake. Beautiful animal you’ll eat well this winter!
I know what you mean. I started bowhunting in 2010 and never really got excited with a rifle... until this past weekend! It has added excitement to the "rifle" game again!Hahaha well done and a great story for the grandkids! We’d all like to be the steely eyed life taker who was weaned on Novocain but honestly, (again!?) it’s the excitement that brings us back again and again...
I didn’t start bow hunting elk until my late 30’s but id been hunting them with rifles, handguns and muzzleloaders since I was 12. The first time I dropped the string on a bull elk (nice fat 5x5) I was so shook I don’t remember picking a spot but I am pretty sure I anchored somewhere behind my right ear and my dad says the arrow cleared his back by a couple of feet...
Getting closer... that’s a big part of it. But as a youngster I got that worked up, hell, remember trying to get to sleep night before opening day? Worried you wouldn’t wake up on time (yeah! As if that would be a problem!)I know what you mean. I started bowhunting in 2010 and never really got excited with a rifle... until this past weekend! It has added excitement to the "rifle" game again!
