I don't know!
That;s hard for a non-bow-head to read.

For the most part,he said what I have said.
He did get really confusing with the arrow speed stuff but it was interesting.

That was more then I could follow tonight. Sometimes something that seems to be so simple can be so difficult.

If you compete in field archery,this program would be a valuable tool to learn from and help on the course.

I've only shot one so far with a bow and it was almost straight down. It was too close, I didn't even know I hit until I saw the buck run off and the fletching sticking out. It wasn't a passthru.

On every animal I've ever killed with a bow, I can not recall ever seeing the arrow hit the animal. I think I'm so focused on aiming and executing the shot that I don't watch the arrow fly. Even though I don't see it hit, I always know if I got a good hit based on the deer's reaction.
I don't think it's necessarily a good thing to watch your arrow fly. It could lead to bad habits and misses. Just my opinion.

I'm just being honest, guys. I've only seen it, once....and then I ONLY saw the hole open up on her side. I didn't see the fletchings/wrap at POI. Both eyes open since Dec. of last year.

I recall seeing it once pre lumenock. It was a 13 yard shot. I am not sure if I saw the fletching or not but I new right where I hit. It may have seen the blood spray. Now I see the lumenock when it hits.

I don't always see the fletching, but I do usually see the impact of the shot since my only focus is on the spot I want to hit.

This is proper shot execution. Focus on your spot. Ifa guy is trying to watch hisarrows, he'sinviting problems into the equation.
I very rarely see the fletchings. For hunting, I like to use 2 whites on my arrows, mostly to help find them after impact. And I still don't see them in flight. I sometimes catch a flash of the fletcings as they pass through the animal, but not becasue I look for it,it just happens. In all honesty, if a buddy asks me where I hit a deer after I shot it, I can usually describe the shot and POI within a couple inches of where it actually hit. I base this on where my pin was sitting on the animal when the release goes off. We often decide on when to track it based on our own shot assesments.
