I arrived at the lease Monday in time for an afternoon hunt, I got in my ground blind around 5:00pm. It was hot with plenty of mosquitos flying. About 6:00 pm I had a 10 pt walk in and gave me a great broadside look. I let an arrow fly but it hit a little low.
After thinking about the shot, I was very excited and rushed the shot. When I went to look for the arrow, the G5 broad head only had 2 blades deploy and had hair on it. The arrow had very little blood on one of the vanes. There was no blood on the ground and no blood trail.
I was very disappointed but continued to hunt morning and night till Thursday when two other lease members came to the lease. After the morning hunt, one of the other hunters had shot at a coyote on the other side of the lease (approx.1 mile) from where I hunt. When looking for a dead coyote, he found deer bones and this skull.
It matched the photos of the 10 pt I shot at. Needless to say I was disappointed with my shot .... but glad to recover the skull.
I normally shoot Muzzy broad heads, so now i'm questioning my decision to try the G5 and wondering if it might have altered the arrow flight?
