I treated myself to a new PSE Drive R this season and decided to try some new BHs with it. I liked the design of the Shwackers so I picked up a pack off of amazon. Shooting 66 pounds with about ~400 grains total weight. Chrono'd ~300fps.
I've been lucky to get to hunt quite a bit this October but didn't connect with a buck until this morning. I've seen a lot of bucks just couldn't get one in my range.
The bucks are chasing pretty good up here and I climbed an oak on ridge point that is one of my go-to spots during this phase. Grunted up a nice buck early but never could see him well enough for a shot. Had good action all morning and finally about 10 this guy chased a doe by me. I've been wanting to kill him because his head gear just didn't match his age. 9 point with turned in beams. 190lbs.
I stopped him at 27 yards broad side and let er rip. Made a good shot, he mule kicked and ran about 60 yards, stopped, did the death wobble, then fell over dead! That gets me pumped every time, regardless of size!
Clipped the heart and broke the offside shoulder on the pass through. HUGE blood trail. Head and blades are still in shooting shape. I guess this is a shameless plug for the Shwackers if anyone is BH shopping today!
