I hunted with those broadheads last year. Did not impress me. Shot a deer at 10 yards. Thought it was a heart shot. Deer ran 50 yards, milled around abit then ran about 100 yards down the tree line before jumping into the woods. No blood at impact or even the first 50 yards. Found small drops where it milled around and for the next 300 yards and almost 6 hours of searching, just scarce drops here and there until I found the deer. When I cut the deer open the broadhead went just behind the heart. Left a small slice acrossed it and was sticking out just behind the opposite shoulder. Very small amount of blood for a shot like that. Going back to my old Zwickeys this year. Always had good blood trail, even with a less than ideal shot.
@@bowdeer5074 yeah man I’m iffy still, I’ve lost a few with Simmons myself. With day six I usually had a pass through and good blood trail. Just not sure which route I want to go
Great shot sequence! This Archer lines up his draw arm elbow with the point of his arrow and his release is straight back! Perfect! Now he needs to put the twangy music back ! The music on this post is awful! 😂 ❤ 🏹🦌
Love the Simmons BHs! What are your arrow specs? Total arrow weight, spine, insert weight? I shoot 500 spine carbons, 50 grain insert, 175 grain point, 27 inch arrows with 3 - 4 inch left wing.
@@jennyboone991 these are Fred eichler legacy 500s with a 15 grain aluminum hit insert and a 175 heads. I have a set of 400s tuned with 250 up front, but these 500s fly longer and much faster compared. The penetration difference between th two isn’t enough to keep them from not going through a deer 🤙🏻
On bows that are not cut past center, canting helps. If you pluck the string on a non-center-shot bow, the arrow flies to the side because you don't get enough energy behind the arrow for it to bend around the riser. Cut past center bows make things much easier. Even cut to center bows can be iffy.
@@jennyboone991 I went down to a 500 spine with a 15 aluminum and 175 point weight, I was shooting a 75 brass with 75 on a 400 but this arrow flys better for me! And for whitetail shouldn’t be a problem
I'm a lefty and get groups to the left occasionally as well. I found a video on the subject yesterday and haven't had a chance to try it yet. The guy held a disposable lighter in his pinky, ring and middle finger of his bow hand. The idea being, it forces a lighter grip on the bow which reduces you moving the bow at release and steering the arrow off course.
Think if you in area with a lot of straight basically limbless trees up to about 15-20ft there’s nothing more comfortable then a climber!!!! However where I hunt in upper northeast that can be tough so a highly adjustable loc on is the ticket or a saddle if your comfortable using one. I find a trad bow tough to shoot out of a saddle. I use a small loc on in hybrid mode for almost everything now. I get in trees with lots of low cover so I don’t have to hunt 18-25ft. I hunt mostly 12-18ft now with average being 15-16. Climber being a smaller guy is VERY awkward to carry through woods where a loc on is streamlined. Good video comparison.
weight and speed is penetration. more speed less weight less penetration unless you meet the speed to increase the energy needed for more penetration at less weight
If you got the cash check out e-bay for Lone Wolf stands, that's how i got my LW sit n climb climber, also what type of Summit is that? I have a Viper but it's not Trad bow friendly.
@@ICantPutMyBowDown I cannot find one in there catalog . Send them a letter for more info. Would like to find one at 40lbs. That I can afford. Thanks 4 your help.
I gotcha im half way between houston and Dallas i just seen the storm clouds in the video n figured that was Beryl head towards you it hit us head on yesterday
@@kingwouldbe8366 the Timberghost supercurve is going to have a much flatter shooting arrow vs the slower stealth hunter and will have more penetration at all distances depending on your arrow build
