Thanks for the info. I am going out again this weekend and i think i will use my spitfires until i can find out what went wrong.I shot her at fifteen yards in a cut beanfield so i know the arrow struck nothing but the deer it just makes feel awful to injure a deer and not recover it.Once again thank you. Chris, PS i emailed the company that owns them and so far have not heard anything back from them also due to an injury i shoot a tenpoint tl 7 crossbow and was thinking maybe this had something to do with it.
