Frustrating thing also was never any blood either.

Had a few where I was certain of a miss. Shot again, Polaxing the deer and then finding both had been clean shots through the front legs.

I was shooting them under 2600fps mostly between 2-300m. My conclusion was they need a lot of speed.

That’s funny because all mine have being with magnums and I figured they needed to be going slower because long shots always seemed ok . I to found lack of blood very frustrating
