Two times I had deer jump the shot on me well doing deer drives with the crossbows one was a 8 point buck he spun at the shot and the arrow hit him right in the brown eye dead center .i could not believe the blood trail he made it 15 yards and was stone dead the other jumped at the shot a got the. Arrow right In the back leg knee same thing crazy big blood tral and he fell with in 20 yards .i would never aim for these kind of hits but some times stuff happens that is why we us the sharpest broad heads we can .dutch
