Finally....And Got It on Film!!

Post by drkeenan »

This season has been marked by frustration!! I experienced early season equipment failures, changed bows, then bad luck deer encounters including hitting a branch, a dog walker scaring a deer and a coughing fit ruining another close encounter. I've had more deer encounters this season than ever before and the worst luck EVER. In short the deer kicked my butt this year.

Well today the tide changed. I called in 3 does and a spike from over 100 yards and connected with my M330 from 30 yds. I filmed it with the ATN Shot Trak and used home made bolts.(my first) The only disappointment was that the Lumenok didn't light so the impact doesn't show on the video as well as I would've liked. Other than that a great morning!!

Here is the link to the video.

Congrats on a nice doe....and cool video...

Regarding the Lumenok, I have found that if I rough up the back end of the arrow with an emory board before installing them, they light every time.

Congratulations on the deer . :)
When the lumenoks light up it is pure magic to watch them sail in there . It is a crap shoot if they will light up when it is important . We had three this year light up all the way to the deer then extinguish when the battery became a missile inside . :lol:
