Another questionable night. Got home from work around 5:50 and decided to run out back (100 yards) and sit in a treestand Stryker and I built this summer. Anyway, 45 minuts later here comes this huge doe walking through the tall grass in the field at about 30 yards. I shoot and I can hear my arrow hit the grass and deflect way off course (in fact I couldn't even find the arrow. ) Well up comes another doe (in the grass) at about 20 yards (I had gotten out of my tresstand by now to look for my arrow). I shoot and watch my arrow hit grass and go flying WAY off course (again I can't even find it). Larry you will remember this happened to me last year at Gardue that day when I slapped the deer in the side with the arrow. I though that was a fluke, but I guess I was wrong. I shoot Spitfire expandables and it seems when they hit any kind of grass, weeds, etc they shoot way of course. The reason being of course that they don't have exposed blades until they hit the deer. Otherwise they would just cut through a piece of grass or two like fixed blades always did. Any comments...I am really frusterated right now. I the positive side I did see two really nice bucks in the wheat field at about 5:45 last night (shooters). Here's a picture of me enjoying a great cigar after shhoting a nice buck with my bow two years ago.

thats strange I have been shooting spitfires for years and I have never had a problem with them. I have never had to shoot through any tall grass like that though. Maybee try the new rage 3 blade heads that is what i shot my buck with this year. good penatration, huge hole
Hey Scott,
My friend also uses the new Rage blades. They are actually discussing whether those blades are legal in NY or not because of there construction. According to our hunting guide in NY the blades are actually illegal because once they enter a deer they cant be easily pulled back out. They consider them "barbed" broadheads. I guess we'll see what comes of it.
