bow hunting
Hunting is definitely not for everyone. But for those that partake in the oldest sport in human history, they can find something special. When you are out in the middle of a forest, desert or field there is time for introspection, meeting new people, spending time with friends & family and being able to get away from it all. If you are seeking bow hunting today, then it seems that you have found it. Thank you for visiting our site today.
What’s a good hunting bow for this circumstance?
I want to hunt on a small amount of land, and so I don’t want the whitetail deer running onto the neighbor’s property. I don’t need stupid responses like “well practice and be accurate” or something…I understand that. I just want to know a bow with good take down capabilities that’s reasonably priced. Thanks!
I’m going to give you the truth based on 35 years of bow hunting- the term take down capabilities does not apply to bows- All bow shots kill by creating a loss of blood. The animal will run until he bleeds to death. On a killing shot, the deer’s death run will carry him from 40 yards ( when hit in the femoral artery) to 300 yards- a liver shot- with the average run going 100 to 200 yards. There is only two exceptions to this- a spine shot and a neck shot- they will drop in their tracks when hit there, but those shots, unless the deer is extremely close, are an accident, most of the time.
Studies have shown that deer hit fatally with an arrow, will run for 7 seconds full blast before they black out from lack of oxygen to the brain- they can cover a good bit of ground in that 7 seconds.
You can improve on this only slightly, by making a double lung broadside shot on a deer with a broadhead with a very large cutting capacity, such as the rage expandable with a 2 inch cutting diameter- on a perfect shot, this should increase the blood loss by a good bit, which may result in stopping the animal quicker- but a bad shot, such as a shoulder hit, will result in a lack of penetration because of the wide cutting area of the blade. That’s about the best information that I can give you.
