Congrats! I have 2 crossbows myself at the moment. I went to crossbow as the result of a freak hit on a doe that was part Olympian gymnast. She jumped the string on a recurve and intercepted a boiler room shot with the back of her head. It did not penetrate enough for a kill and it made for a very long and time consuming tracking until I eventually lost her on land that we could not access.(anti-hunter). I still bow hunt, but when I'm serious about it, the same hit with my compound will give 1 and sometimes 2 holes. The crossbow will leave 2 holes and nothing in the wound channel to block the blood flow. Crossbow has 3 times the poundage as the compound. It makes for short blood trails, and easy tracking.
Well done on the two kills.


An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
