I haven’t hunted a single time in probably 5 years. I swore it off. A friend of mine invited me to go to MO with him for a bow hunt. I can no longer shoot a vertical bow so I told him I’d have to buy a crossbow. He has one that he let me use. I hunted from the ground, with no ground blind, just my ASAT leafy suit and had 3 different shooters within 25 yards. I stuck a 140” 10 point. I put it right where I was aiming. Deer toted the bolt off, blood played out and the dog trailed him about a mile before we called him off. So I’m sick about the deer, but the week reminded me how much I enjoy hunting deer when there’s no hunting club drama. I can make a trip up north a couple 2-3 times a year, hunt better deer and not have to deal with drama llamas.

But I gotta get a crossbow. A hundred years ago I had an Excalibur and shot Slick Trick’s in it. My friend said fixed blade heads wouldn’t shoot in his Excalibur, the one I borrowed. I won’t be using expandables after that bolt not penetrating into that deer any better than it did.

I’m also not buying a Ravin crossbow with their price tags. Good gracious. They’re an insane price

Edit: I’m not blaming the crossbow or the broadhead for me not killing the deer. I just have more faith in cut on contact heads and an arrow with a CoC broadhead stuck in a deer keeps cutting as the deer runs. A fold open expandable would fold closed if the arrow pulls back some
