I am sorry for your loss.

Probably bad.

I had a GT II break. It was not a pass through. The break was clean. I will continue to use these arrows as I have 2 dozen and they are very accurate.

I use thin long LED lights with AAA or AAAA batteries. I fashion a cord and wear these flashlights around my neck under my shirt. When I need it I have it readily available. I also wear a compass the same way.

50 years for me. The first 19 years I spent walking in the woods and never got a deer. I then began hunting from blinds with bait and got my first deer the 20th year. Since then I get one or two a year. I am a meat hunter so many of my deer are does. I hunted with Bear a recurve using fiberglass arr...

Yes, I am using a fast flight string.

I have an Ibex. With 436 gr arrows I get 290 fps. You should get 300 fps.

The arrow was broken off clean with no fibers.

I had the same problem on my Ibex. It was caused by the scope mount moving slightly up and down. I removed the scope mount (not the rings) and put some on clear packing tape to make the scope mount fit tighter. This solved the problem.

That is very possible but it would mean that if the buck had not ducked the arrow would have passed well underneath him, which is unlikely due to the accuracy of the Ibex. Of course I could have made a bad shot. know something odd happened because the other 3 deer I shot were complete pass throughs ...

That could very well be as I did not notice any damage on the far side. I found the broken arrow and broadhead when I reached up to cut the windpipe. I was lucky to not get cut.

So what do you think about that large hole in the neck?

Thanks,
It seems to be working fine now as I added the photos to my other post.

I am able to paste the IMG code and it will bring up the photo BUT I want the photo to be seen in my post without having to open it up. This time it worked.
