Gonna have to disagree on the blue dot. Maybe even the black one. Seen to many times when they drop and the arrow flies right over the back or in or under the spine. It's not they are ducking the arrow, but loading up the legs, in which they drop, sometimes as much as 2ft, in order for them to get the heck out of Dodge.
Up in a tree, I like to aim just above the belly line.

I tend to agree with this, especially if it's a doe... bucks just don't seem to jump the string as badly as a doe, and the more mature and dominant the buck, the less he's likely to react to the shot... I'm thinking he thinks he's the "bull of the woods" and is not so jumpy because he's not worried about some other deer or animal spooking him off his groceries... Just a theory of course, but seems to pan out for me.

My son drilled one at F8 last weekend. Arrow didn't really look to have any blood on it. It was definitely wet, but I guess fat cleaned the arrow on exit. I wanted to see a bloody arrow and that just wasn't the case.
Pic of arrow and video of shot below.

That guy said, "An inch higher, we wouldn't be looking. He'd be right where you shot him"!!!

I like both of those pics, very helpful.Last edited by lovemylegacy; 10-25-2019, 10:51 AM.
