....for one arrow from 20 yds. I was a bit shaky after I launched that arrow but it flew true. He was one of my target bucks and I am blessed...

That one rattled me a bit but I was able to pull it off. Had a 6" hole thru water oak branches about 15 yds in front of me to shoot thru. Arrow never touched a leaf....

Dandy for sure.

MattLA,
The buck was 3.5 years old. If I have time tomorrow I'll go back down to my carcass dump and take a pic. I tossed it out with the guts and ribcage. I did pull it though and it is a perfect example of 3.5 year old molar wear.

Great shot on a really nice buck. Good job!


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!

Nice

I had a big bodied deer bedded 40-50yds from my stand couldn't see any antlers with headlight an hour before legal light
Saw a few does and fawns, no shooters but a bunch of crows showed up

Wasp Jak-Hammer 100 grain. 1.75" cut when open. It opens as it passes thru. Devastating wound channel. Flies just like field points...I've never had to broadhead tune. I'm shooting a Mathews Triax at 68 lbs, 27" arrows.

That broadhead is the most overlooked and under advertised out there. It is an "over the top" opening expandable that is tough and after more than 5 seasons using them I have killed about 20 deer with them. They are quality made and have never failed. The wounds cause the "Wow" reaction. Have killed several 200 plus lb Midwestern bucks with them too....flawless performance.

Check out the customer ratings any where they are sold. This broadhead has been on the market for 20 plus years and the design hasn't changed. I will never shoot anything else. I have bought up several. And they are reasonably priced at about $35 for 3.
