Blood trail

[Belt&Suspenders]

Just took a 4 pointer at 23 yards out of a tree stand, about 15 feet high. The broadhead was the ones that came with the Exomax I shoot (Wasp Boss 100 3 blade) and the exit wound was about 1 and 3/4" inch. As stated earlier though, shooting down through the vitals is better for a good blood trail I think though. This one went about 15 to 20 yards tops and that's all she wrote. Just my thoughts but it did the job for me out of a tree. I just always imagine there's a basketball between the deer's front legs and I have to punch through that. Hope this helps.

I'll stay clear of the mechanicals. The wasp does the job. I'm just a worrier when I don't see blood. I have a sit and climb tree stand, but don't use it much anymore. I'm 66 and I'm not real comfortable up a tree anymore. I used the stand with the crossbow once last year and found it difficult to manuever and hold, in a climber.
Thanks;
Bob

I tried Thunderheads but got poor accuracy. Seems the large blades steer my bolts esp. noticeable past 20 yards. Slick Trick mags give me much better accuracy plus great terminal performance. This year I had a bolt deflected by a branch on the way to the target resulting in a paunch hit. It came through just back of the lung on the offside. I was thinking lost deer at first. But the large doe walked off 20 feet, lay down twice then expired in about 15 minutes...all withing sight. The Slick tore up enough intestinal blood vessels to cause massive internal bleeding. It's got my vote.
