I've gone rouge - non airgun!

   Never found the bolt, complete pass through and ended up in the bush behind somewhere.

Firing 20inch bolts with 125grain 3 blade fixed broad heads. Total weight of around 450grains from memory.

Haha nope no make up on me. Use a camo balaclava thingy as I hate face paints.

Zero is 20m, the scope has corresponding marks from 20 - 100yrds in 10yrd increments.

Ate some backstrap last night and this evening. It's the nicest venison we've eaten and incredibly tender and soft. Kids ate as much as me 🤣

	Nice One Billbo! What a bow! What range have you zeroed it for? It seems to be performing extremely well.... were you using bolts with broad heads?

	Nice. You'll be stoked. Meat in freezer. Nicely placed shot. Did the shaft survive.

	Alot of hard work finally paid off. Took this young one this morning at around 15m after it's mother didn't give me a shot opportunity. Stags were roaring further up the ridge but refusing to come down. It made it around 13m from where I shot it.

	At a guess, when shooting to 80, probably a good 20+ inches of arc if this makes sense

	What's the arc like of the bolt? I imagine your air rifle shooting would be of benifit for bolt trajectory. Great way to spend time with Oliver. Nice pic. Shame wasn't a bit closer and you got to put a bolt in before pic.
