Sounds normal to me. I hear more target strike than bow. Great shot group. I’d run it.

Ok, I thought about some whiskers. It was fairly close. I'm gonna stretch out as I get more used to the feel again. I just sounds loud to me. Never put meat in the freezer with one and I'm hoping to change that this year.

Unless it’s a pretty far shot, you don’t have to worry about a deer jumping the bow. They’ll sometimes crouch if they hear the crack before the arrow gets there. I’ve dropped them around 30 yards with no problem.

Good luck man! If we can match schedules I'd love to hit the woods down at Perkins or up at Kerr Scott.

Went and did a little scouting today. It was hot and the mosquitoes were maddening in the middle of the day. I ain’t hunting a damn thing except a cold beer until it cools down. Shot some arrows this evening and I’m pouring sweat. I’m getting soft. Five years ago I’d be sucking it up. Not anymore.
 
My mom called me yesterday morning and said, "I think there is a quail in my chicken pen, can you come look?". Sure enough there was. She said when she went out to take the chickens some scraps, there was a hawk circling overhead. Apparently Mr Quail had wandered up from the field and ol chicken hawk to a shot at him. After the hawk was gone we shoo'ed it back outside. Pretty cool to see one these days.

thats cool i wonder it was a wild quail or got out from somewhere.

I have them get out sometimes and they hang out 3-4 days before something gets them

Definitely wild. There are no bird hunters around here anymore. If it was pen raised, it was a long way from home
 
Hunting buddy called me today saying he shot an 8pt, but didn't hear it crash & lost the trail. He wanted help tracking, but I was 3 hours away...got a text from him an hour later:

He said it ran a little over 100 yards. Happy for him, I think its been 2-3 years since he's put some venison in the freezer!
