[QUOTE="74MOPAR, post: 5733582, member: 12766"] Well I don’t really know what happened. Bad as I hate to tell it here goes . Besides breaking my rule about archery hunting sunday evening when I work on Monday. The buck I was hoping for showed up with plenty of light left. He moved through and never got a shot, few minutes later he came back out moving right to left and had an opening for 30 yard shot. I had a good rest for the crossbow and everything felt good. After the shot he wheeled around and took off like a bullet. Got down after a few minutes and checked the bolt and thought it was good news. Blood and lost 2 fletching . It had passed through and bounced back up and hit a tree. Went back to the house and gave him probably 45 minutes. We started right where he was standing to look for blood . 2,5 hours grid searching and not a single drop found . I am wore out and at a complete loss. I don’t know how the bolt went through and never saw any blood anywhere. Maybe low and non lethal? 🤦🏻♂️[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6645.jpeg"]198340[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_6649.png"]198341[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
