I've been holding on the bottom of the broadhead target at the grass line and impacting 2 to 3 inches from the bottom, Thank You in advance.

Not sure I'd hold that low - if you do and he doesn't duck it seems you wouldn't have much margin for error. I was always told 1/3 from brisket to spine is ideal. Are you hunting from the ground or tree stand?


10-4 and Thanks, I held one third up on the only thing I've ever shot with a longbow which was a doe at 8 or 9 yards, she had a stiff North wind in her ears, I didn't think she'd hear the bow and duck, she didn't.

All longbow hunting for me will be from the ground, I'm 6'2" and my bow is 66"s, I'd need a damn elevator platform in a tree to hunt that thing off the ground. grin


Trump Won!
