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? |

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. |
