    One thing I taught my Kids for Bow and Crossbow and even Rifles....KNOW your ranges...get a range finder...or mark off trees or landmarks to know how far the deer is at. I learned years ago when I forgot my range finder and I thought a buck was 45 yds...but he was 55-60...and I shaved his belly hair....last day of Crossbow season...my dads neighbor shot the HUGE 10 pt the next day which was opening day for rifle. He was so happy to tell me about the Big Buck with the bald patch under his chest. KNOW YOUR DISTANCES AND RANGES.

    All great tips especially #2 and #5 don’t be afraid to shoot a doe, and be realistic , no holding out for that 185 inch buck you seen on monster bucks, looks like a win for Maryland, excellent stuff.

    Yeah. Def don’t rush the shot. Great tip. And if your shooting fixed blades shoot the one you intend to hunt with to make sure they fly good with the arrow there on. A good broadhead can take a shot or to into foam and still be hunting sharp.

    Hey Bunjie, new viewer from KY.
    Just watched a video you did last November. Why Swhacker?
    Just gotta say that I truly appreciated that video man.
    I'm a proud Excalibur owner of an old axiom that was my first crossbow, and now I have owned a shorter, newer model for 3 years now and love them both. Taken a lot of KY deer with them.
    Swhacker 150 grain, 3 inch broadheads have been a true blessing in both the old slower model, and the newer faster model.
    For several years I tried several types of fixed and mechanical broadheads. The Excalibur models, Rage, NAP, etc...
    All killed deer, not all left good blood trails or was what I consider humane kills. Then, I tried these Swhacker 3 inch, 150 grain dudes and man!!!!
    Take last year, a nice buck at 20yds broadside, ran 65 yds spraying out both sides and fell over without a kick!!!!
    Late season doe at 15 yds, ran 35 yds spraying out both sides and fell over dead on the ground!!!!
    Blood trails? Blood trails?
    Absolutely!
    Humane kills? Heck yes!
    Easy within sight retrieved deer, yes, yes, yes!!!
    You can't go wrong with them. I'll never try anything else. I stock up on them!
    Enjoy the videos, keep up the x bow dream!!!

  • @boomerrangerron
    @boomerrangerron 2 года назад +1

    If you are holding out for that "BIG BUCK" you may not put anything in the freezer.
    May I suggest tip #6? Use Teflon (plumbers) tape or dental floss on the threads of the broadheads to prevent them from working loose.

    The best way to learn is by experience, and thru advice from those that have traveled the journey. My best learning tool was from mistakes I have made thru the years, instead of things I accidentally got right. I trophy hunted with multiple types of arrow launchers thru the years with success. But when I shifted to shooting doe's, (there's a lot more of them around) my knowledge drastically accelerated. Shooting doe's to build up your confidence, is great advice.

    Here in CT, deer season kinda demands taking does. Deer are a nuisance animal with overblown populations in non -rural areas. If there's trees, there's deer in 'em. They've been seen all over Norwich and caused plenty of serious accidents. And they're OTE cute and cuddly. I had a friend get messed up by a buck that swore his yard WASN'T his anymore because a couple does were on it.
    Hunting for me isn't about the thrill or competition: it's a necessity to balance nature order after we chased out almost all the predators that managed deer population without filling those predator vacuums ourselves.

    This video is just in time! I'm a new crossbow hunter, i've been on just one hunt so far and i didnt get anything because the hog made absolutely horrible sounds approaching the feeder in front of my elevated blind and since i'm as new of a hunter as they come, i got scared because i thought those were the sounds of a bear, and my platform i was hunting from was just 3-4 feet off the ground, so a bear could've easily gotten onto it, so intentionally made a sound to scare the animal away, and that was the only animal that passed by that area that day. When i described the sounds to experienced hunters later that day they laughed and told me those were hog sounds, no way it could've been bear sounds and there shouldn't be any bears there.
    I'm planning to go hog hunting again to that same spot and i have several questions. The thing is that in my country (unfortunately i dont live in USA) crossbows are only legal up to 95lbs of draw weight, so they are very slow. My crossbow is an EK Archery Guillotine-M with 95lbs limbs and it only pushes a 480 grain arrow up to 246-248fps. The arrow itself weighs 255 grains without a point, so 480 grains is with a 125 grain tip and a 100 grain weight screwed in the back of the insert. Considering how slow that crossbow is and that my target game is hogs, i dont know if i should go for a lighter or heavier arrow and what broadhead should i choose. The lightest i can make that arrow is 355 grains, and i can make it very heavy by screwing in lots of weights, could probably take it to over 600 grains if needed. So what weight should i go with? Now as for broadheads, i have two options - a chinese Schwaker knock off which is 100 grains and i think something like 1.75" cut, and the other option is a chinese knockoff of the strickland archery helix fixed blade single bevel broadhead, it weighs 125 grains and has a 1 3/16" cutting diameter. So which one of the broadheads and weight configurations would you use? The feeder is just 10 yards away from the blind and i'm planning to shoot no further out than 15 yards, so given all those conditions what combination of broadhead and arrow weight would you choose?

    • @Deathbybunjie
      @Deathbybunjie  2 года назад +3

      Fixed blade, heavier arrow, best combination for that crossbow! Good luck!

    • @chrisruzsa2798

    What do you do if your broadhead doesn’t shoot straight with an arrow?

    • @Deathbybunjie
      @Deathbybunjie  2 года назад +1

      Assuming you are using the same weights and the same arrows, spin them in an arrow spinner and make sure that they spin straight. Then, if they still don't shoot right you will have to tune the Broadhead to the arrow by making sure the blades line up with the fletchings. I am not an expert on this. You'll have to look at other videos. Frankly, this is one reason that I use mechanical broadheads. The other reason is for a bigger cutting diameter.

    • @Deathbybunjie
      @Deathbybunjie  2 года назад

      The other option if it shoots off but the same with every arrow, you can just sight in for that Broadhead and and you're ready to hunt. Some Mechanicals don't fly exactly like fuel points, in fact probably most of them don't at longer yardages, and for that reason it's no problem to just sight in for them at those yardages. I hope that helps.

      Wind planing...some heads drift left or right, some slow down and hit low, some steer the arrow like vanes on the front end...unless you shoot them you won't know. Differs from one model to another and even one head of the same brand to another.
