Good solid broadside shot at 25yards. It might have been a little farther back than I would preferred, but still a good hit. Watched her run off with about 4inchs of bolt sticking out the side of her. Very little blood, four hours tracking her then the blood trail stopped and no recovery. And yes, I know how to shoot a crossbow and yes I have tracked many deer. Not many of them were mine though. In all my archery hunting with primitive, recurves and longbows, compounds and now a cross bow, I've only lost two deer. Both were using mechanical broadheads. At 25-30yards, my Slick Tricks would have blown completely through her. I don't think the Shwackers did. I also believe thats why there wasn't much blood. Don't mean to sound grumpy but I don't like shooting deer and not finding them.
