  • www.crossbownation.com On this segment of Crossbow Safety and Education we take a look at shot placement. Know where to shoot the animal you are hunting is an important part of crossbow hunting. The whitetail deer is the most hunted big game animal in the world, so we thought we would help you newbies out on where to shoot a deer with a crossbow and why. Even you gun guys that are now hunting with a crossbow will want to watch.

    The crossbow went together quickly and the general fit and finish is a bit above what I expected for the price. czcams.com/users/postUgkx5B43Qabqt1HedUJyfEqxiwBCfaooIH52 The adjustable stock is a little loose. I had an issue when I tried to cock the bow for the first time with the safety on. The string set in the trap box, held just enough to build up enough tension to rip the string out of my hands when it let go. No significant damage was done, and once I got it sighted in, I wrecked a couple bolts by sending one straight down the shaft of the first. I'm holding ~2" groups at around 50 yards, and I'm not an expert by any means. Best part is that they supply all the replacements parts you may ever need

    Better to under estimate yardage than over estimate. Have always heard we tend to over estimate yardage in the woods, and under estimate yardage in a field. Even quiet crossbows are LOUD. I don't play the lottery, but aiming low helps up the odds of winning the harvest lottery. Bare shaft tuning, heavy duty cut on contact broadheads, and medium to heavy weight arrow/broadhead set ups don't hurt either. Give FOC a try. It is amazing.

    Some things I've learned over the last decade using my crossbow, that weren't mentioned: a deer with its head down will drop faster and further than one with its head up. Also, use a fixed blade instead of a mechanical blade and you'll increase your success rate, especially on a less than perfect shot. Thirdly, illuminated nocks are worth the investment, losing bolts is expensive and in low light you'll have a headstart finding a blood trail. And finally, I've never lost a deer that was hit in the heart, it's the best choice for an ethical kill

    A wise, old geezer dude once told me to visualize a basketball with the heart at the center for those quartering away and overhead shots. At times that methodology had me wondering if I were doing it correctly just before I hit the release. I questioned myself but trusted my instincts. It works pretty well.

    I personally have killed oh 25 deer with my crossbow. Not many, but i use rage chissle tip and i shoot threw the shoulder like a rifle. It drops them in tracks and ive never had to track over 40 yards. Blead right out in a min. My experience. Yours may vary.. just wanted to say cuz you said don't and thats cool.. good luck to all hunter's...

    Wish I would have watched this video a week earlier. I took a quartering to shot at a big buck and never was able to recover him. Think the shot was in the shoulder blade. Hoping he made it for gun season this coming week. Thanks for making a great video that is easy to follow!

      Buy yourself a deer target if you decided to get involved in bow season and practice. Gun season hunting Top shoulders, mid Neck, or doe kill head shot behind eye or top front head shot. Brian kill drop where they stand at shorter distances. Just make sure your scope is
      Mounted well and very accurate when head shots.

  • @chriscane6211

    Listen. BEHIND the shoulder. Quartered deer aim for opposite shoulder that way u hit both lungs. What most teachers and people will say, common sense. All though great vid.

    Can a certain power level crossbow shoot through the shoulder?

    • @redbonebuddy
      @redbonebuddy  Před 8 lety +4

      +vpsaline There are some crossbows that can produce enough kinetic energy, however, you also have to worry about arrow and broadhead failure. Also, it is always best to have two holes when blood trailing a deer. Even if you blow through the first shoulder your odds of blowing through the second as well is greatly reduced. This is why we aim just behind.

      As a bow hunter I've read that an arrow that weighs less than 400 grains will not punch effectively through bone. A cross bow bolt is usually lighter I believe.

    • @diggernash1
      @diggernash1 Před rokem

      Only in common vernacular. Strictly speaking, bolts describe an arrow-like projectile without fletching or stabilizing vanes. Most crossbows shoot arrows.

  • @jamesharrisonjr4515
    @jamesharrisonjr4515 Před rokem

    I shot a buck in a field straight on about 30 yards away with my crossbow and I will never shoot one again in that position. I watched that deer run in the woods and after about an hour I got down out of me stand and went to find my deer only to not find and blood at all nowhere not a drop. Found it a week later because of buzzards with the arrow still in him.
