I'm having a hard time w/ deflection making 50 yard brush shots at running deer w/ my bow! What am I doing wrong? 12 arrows later I still haven't connected... I'm not serious brush shots are unethical w/ any weapon in my opinion, minus maybe a mini gun like the movie Predator where you actually mow the brush down w/ sheer volume of bullets but that's more Hollywood than practical I would think?

I've found explosive tipped arrows to be the best. As far as shafts go, any decent carbon shaft should be good. You might Google Rambo for some live action video of effectiveness.

You might Google Rambo for some live action video of effectiveness. ^^^^ This, but you must learn to lead them well and let the explosive tip do it's job of clearing the brush first. Be ready for a quick follow up shot with a more conventional shaft.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

And hopefully the end of you doing that!! This! 50 yards is a long shot with a bow. 50 yards on a running deer is unethical. Mechanical heads will not help you. Hunting technique and stealth must be practiced and successfully executed so that you can make the shot before they bolt.

Easton recently came out with brush cutter arrows. They start at 60,000 grains, and sport counter rotating circular saw blades. The CR blades completely eliminate deflection, while striking brush of up to 3” diameter. The only issue is, due to Black Friday sales, stock is depleted!!! And yes, I’m only spoof’n too.
If your mind draws a blank, turn off the sound, because ya can't learn a thing if you're doin all the talkin

Wish I had the patent on that! I could see the counter rotating to the inside would stabilize in flight and help center to the thickest brush where the game is most likely to take cover! Brilliant!

30- 30 shaft works good. I really like the 300 hornady sabot shaft. SST model. the sst stands for S -short S - shaft T -terminal
works great in brush out of my Mossberg 500 series long bow !!!!! I have a similar bow. Works pretty good.
