First deer i GOT with a bow when i was in HS i shot almost straight down through as it ate acorns under the branch i stood on.
It bounced off about 10 yards and started feeding again. I couldnt see an arrow in it or on the ground.
Like the twilight zone.
It was behind me through brush and after a while with me trying to figure out WTH was going on, it lay down and soon died.
When i climbed down, the arrow was stuck in the forest duff and straight up.
I started using white knocks on the Micro Flight fiberglass arrows.
I've had more than a few not know they wuz daid
BC ( before carbon) I put blue nocks and vanes
on my arrows.
The stood out really well to my eyes when everything
where I hunted was brown and green and gray
