first archery deer in years and I didn't deserve it

[steven gordon]

OK, I was quiet. that part I deserved. But I rushed my shot and it hit her in the right side of the paunch, angling to exit through the left thigh. Transected the vena cava and aorta along the way, also messedup the left tenderloin. She didn't get sixty yards.

Part of the reason she died quickly was the penetration, and partly that was due to the bow, a Hoyt that shoots way faster than my Bear WhiteTail II used. to.
