Anyone ever use a decoy arrow to attract/stop a deer?

You could put your special whiskey underwear down there and I bet it would stop them deer dead in their tracks

As one of the few who admits it. I have missed several deer with my bow. Anything young and has not learned a human wants to eat it will check it out. Anything older and mature will run. What I do it intentionally. Nope..

Why?

I am getting down from the tree anyway.
Why not take a practice shot?
Also will take practice shots on the way back to the truck. I shot a recurve instinctively.

I thought his question might be why would it hurt a carbon arrows specifically?

Separately, to me, taking practice shots would be for trad shooting only.

I don't know alot about carbon arrows.
If you hit a rock, would that damage the arrow, IDK.

Not always but a lot of the time. I have wrecked a few that hit rock but have had a few survive too.

The one time I decided to take a shot with a. Judo point before I got down at a stump it imbedded itself in and I couldn’t get out. I left with the shaft only lol. Never again.

If I am hunting in the river bottoms I will sometimes shoot at a leaf or clump of grass when getting down. In the hills, I never shoot from the tree except at deer, it is an anomoly up there to not hit rock.

I meant why shoot an aluminum and not a carbon?

I shot aluminum in a recurve for about 25 years. I tried carbon on three different occasions. I could never get a bare shaft to fly straight. I dont think Ferr l tite blue was avaliable so I could not adjust length and point weight like a aluminum shaft. So I just went Back to aluminum.

I use regular hot melt craft glue. Works great and melts at a lower temp.

I go back and forth between the two. I love the consistency of aluminum yet the durability of carbon.
