Lost a Spike on Rage

[Texas8point]

High fence ? Pea Gravel ?

I was elevated in a climber 23 yard shot behind the shoulder slightly quarted towards me saw where it hit him. the only thing I can assume it hit the back shoulder. I realize I shouldn't have hit the shoulder I wasn't aiming for it but wouldn't there be blood from the entry wound?? like I said the arrow was soaked up three inches too the fletching. and im not knocking anyone who uses rage if it works for you it works for you. It was a fred bear element handed down to me from my dad split limb single cam 300 fps.

Evidently it was not a good shot...

Exactly.

There will be A TON of opinions on the matter but i do what I can to NOT take a quartering shot. Best chance for pass through is completely broadside. No secret a pass through will leave a better blood trail and in this case it sounds like that's all you needed was a blood trail to follow to your dead spike

Quartering toward is the answer, not that it won't work, but not the best angle.

Hit him high from an elevated position and the body cavity needs to fill up before it comes out. Bad shot. Bad angle. No blood. Still killed the deer. The head worked.

Quartering to you and hit behind the shoulder means gut shot. One lung/liver at best.

You sure it wasn’t a rage hypo I heard they are pretty weak

I have used muzzy since i started at 12, I'm 22 now and have been happy with my 3 blade fixed muzzy's. Seems like you can't go wrong with it.

Should have easily passed through though with the angle and placement... I still think mechanicals are used far too often to cover up poor bow tuning and I personally shoot fixed for that reason and because there’s nothing to fail. Fixed blades are already “deployed”.
