Back in Oct I shot a doe at 33 yds with my Sniper using a 100 gr 1 3/4" 2 bladed swhacker with a 20" black eagle executioner. Total weight 443 gr. I also have a 36 gr nockturnal launch pad nock on the rear end.
Doe ran toward me and J hooked back the way it had came. Massive blood trail. Blood on saplings. Blood everywhere where she fell.
Shot a doe yesterday evening with the same setup. 27 yds. Doe turned and ran hard in the open hardwoods and I watched her pile up at about 80 yds.
Perfect shot.
Climbed down and found arrow. Started looking for blood. Couldn't find a single drop. After looking for a while I arrived at the downed deer and there wasn't even a drop of blood where she laid.
Nothing. Gutted the doe and her chest cavity was full of blood.
Both deer died quickly. Both ran about 80 yds.
The first doe was slightly quartering away. Arrow entered behind the first rib and exited the opposite shoulder. Massive exit hole and blood trail.
2nd doe was sightly quatering away. Arrow entered at the rear of the front shoulder and exited behind the 2nd rib. No blood at all. None.
2 shots, both basically same path through vitals. Opposite entries and exit wounds.
Been using Swhackers for yrs off and on. They kill deer dead. Some like em some dont.
Just interesting were the blood trail differences with very similar circumstances with opposite but equal results.
