This channel is like a TED talk that doesn’t blow.

You've converted me. Last year I shot two deer with my rifle and had to track both (never found the first one). I started studying shot placement, including your videos. Using your method, I took one shot this season and it dropped right where it stood. Like they say, "follow the science!"

Hey RF. I shot one quartering to. 700 grains total weight kinetic kaos, cutthroat 200 up front with weighted insert. Went through shoulder blade and busted it, cut a rib in two, lung, sliced a nice gusher between the lungs, liver, through back rib opposite side. Didn't live 10 seconds. Thank you for the videos!!

For anyone reading this it doesn't matter what your weapon of choice is for hunting, you owe it to the animal to shoot the most lethal projectile and deliver the quickest kill as HUMANLY possible! For your game of choice

Good video. Always learning new things and I have been bow hunting for 35 years now. Best arrow set up I have ever had is from watching your videos. I am more confident in my set up now then I have ever been. Thanks for being you and pumping out these awesome to the point and no BS videos.

I appreciate the chalk talk on these videos. The lethality of bowhunting is a topic that needs to be focused on more. Big fan of your message.

This is why I built an adult arrow. Great to understand these shots better. Thanks for doing this

I have complete confidence in my adult arrow 615 grains TAW. My last public land buck was quartering to me and he only went 50 yards crashed. Thank you Troy.

Shooting too low and back from a stand has been a weakness of mine for some time. In most cases, the shot placement when you do find the deer is so different than where you thought you hit. Glad to see I'm not the only one who struggles with this.

Took 1 buck and 3 hogs last yr and it all about shot placement. Hog 1, 2 and 3 dropped right where they stood .the buck went 25 yrds .hunt private property and bow season was canceled so rifle is was .this year bow season not allowed again so have to wait until November which sucks . As always great job ranch fairy

Just a note to say thanks. I added 150 grains of weight to my carbon arrows this season. I've had way to many deer look like they got hit with a twig when my arrows were making contact. This year with added weight arrow was 550 grains. Hard quartering shot arrow had a long way to go. Went in just back of left shoulder and exited with approximately 14 inches of arrow passing through. I believe the added weight was the key. Deer dropped in 25 yards. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.

I have always shot with a rifle for center shoulder ball opposite side. I have not lost a deer with a rifle in well 10 plus years at least. I’m shooting a 608 grain crossbow bolt in a 425 rated crossbow. I worked up a 100 brass insert and 150 head and pile-driver 20. Weighed on a grain scale at 608. I shot a big doe in Illinois this past year quartering hard forward. Bolt slipped in just left of front left shoulder into brisket, traveled through the top and bottom of the heart center shot, exited back lungs opposite opposing side then went another 30 yards into the dirt. Blood was phenomenal. Deer went 30 yards, did a circle, sprayed everything around with blood like a pressure sprayer putting out fertilizer … then simply expired dead DRT. Blood trail a blind man could follow. Recovery was the easiest in my archery hunting career. I have a video of it but don’t know how to post In comments here. My point is your advice and insight for archers is invaluable! Thanks much. I had missed or wounded a bunch back in my vertical bow days more due to shot placement probably than anything else. I always tried to avoid the shoulder “ball” with archery equipment until I started honing into what you are telling us. Now, I do shoot a mechanical so you can hate or shake head back and fort. It’s a 150 Sevr Robusto. But anyway … work in progress. Thanks for the information always RF. Until I see a real reason to switch back to a fixed, I’m gonna stay with this set up. But I know I have BH options. We will see what the future tells me to do. Those Sevrs are just so field point accurate… Appreciate you bud.

Everything you say( at least hunting related, lol) just makes sense. Thanks for putting the info out there. I love your channel bro!

Fixing to start bow season here-Louisiana- I kill a lot of pigs -public-ground -when i hunt deer-invariably they never come from the direction i am suspecting-hardly ever get the classic broadside shot-hardest shot for me are those within 10 yards -15-20 ft up-I try to aim just forward of the shoulder-qtr2-and qtr away just behind the crease-no bait-deer usually moving-lost one that i hit low qtr away-really enjoy the tutorials-they get me to focus on placement not just to hit the deer somewhere and pray

Brother---I've learned so much watching YOUR videos. Keep on keeping on!

Enjoyed the video as always, brother. Love what y'all are doing for our sport

I shot aluminums and fixed blades long after everyone went to carbon and mechanicals. Usually stayed away from leg bones but punched thru allot of shoulder blades. I would hear stories of arrows stopping on shoulder blades and wondered how. Then I swithed to twizzlers and flappers. All of the sudden my shot placement didnt work. Was condidering going back to aluminums and zwickeys when i found the ranch fairy. Now my 250 spine arrows weigh 650 grains with single bevels up front. This is the best setup out there. I hunt places I cant afford to track a deer very far so breaking a shoulder is a great way to slow them down. Love these videos. Keep it up.

Here I was going to my local archery shop today trying to give some business.Well when he asked what I needed I told him and he laughed.I explained what I’ve been watching and he still kind of laughed. He is telling me there is no way this works and I tried to get him to watch it and he said he doesn’t need to.So I guess I do it elsewhere.

Looking "forward" to part two...

The wisdom of the Ranch Fairy is just endless! Thank you Ranch Fairy, thanks to you I now shoot a 660 grain 250 spine arrow and it's an absolute bone crusher.

I need me some of them new tuff heads. Exactly the weight and style I have been searching for!

😎My two favorite KZfaq channels. No more disposable blade broadheads for me! Thanks Ranch Fairy👍Watching Deer tip over in sight is cool, and fun.

Buying a cheap 3d deer target is a good way to learn arrow placement. One can shoot and then analysis their shot. I shoot a medium weight arrow and a 100 grain 2 bladed Magnus stinger. For deer, this works well. I can split the difference between weight and speed and have an arrow that gives me the best overall performance and success. I have a 30" draw so I have more lead way in my setup than most guys do. The average draw length is 28" so one needs to consider their draw length, poundage and bow's performance capabilities. Then find the right weight arrow and broadhead that gives them the best overall success for the game they pursue.

Yup. Aim forward. I’ve center punched them most of those instances. Focus on the pumps and pipes and center of all that breaths and bleeds. Vital V. Vital V. Vital V

I love the amount of work you put into researching shots. Your channel is awesome! Keep up the great work

That’s bow hunting, these things happen that why I practice as much as possible and watch videos like this to learn as much as possible

Had my string slap my sleeve upon release. 623gr went through and through the liver and only the liver. 21 yards quartering too. He took one bound closer to 16 yards facing me, he stopped and flicked his tail, took one half step, another wobbly leg full step and front flipped into a lural quicker than I could fully un snap an arrow from the quiver that was still attached to the bow. It was over in 7 seconds. I was absolutely dumbfounded questioning how the arrow just hit where it did, and how the heck it killed so fast. Thank you Troy for being so adamant about having SHARP adult broadheads. Because when shit hits the fan like it did to me, it makes a difference. That single bevel tore him up.

Excellent use of video experiences and the hunter's own explanations to detail what you are saying. This is a great way to illustrate your advice and its rationale, while moving additional people toward more effective gear and tactics.

Thanks for advice. You gave me the confidence to take a good forward shot on a relaxed very nice 8pt. My biggest archery buck so far. Deer went 75yds after I pounded the shoulder with my new bow adult set up

RF I am glad you and the Hunting Public are working together. I learned of you thru watching one of their podcast. Glad I did. When a person switches to an adult arrow setup the mind has to select a better aiming point. Thanks for what you do!

Lite arrows are like bullets, Heavy arrows are like canon balls

Man troy! I frigging love your content!!!!!! Its helped me out soo much thank you and keep up the great videos!

Though I am new to the setup(currently running 720 grains), I managed to kill a buck here in MO opening day. I had shot quartering to. The arrow was a complete passthrough save for the back 4" that had broken off while traveling through the second shoulder. The single bevel cut through both scapulas. With all the things that can go wrong in hunting, having a setup that can crush a whitetail at literally any angle (save for the Texas heart shot, I'm still not cool with that one) is something that is invaluable.

Always after me Lucky Charms, They're Magically delicious. Watching this video on St. Patrick's Day. The Hunting Public Boys are the real deal!

Liked before I even watched. Confidence

Good scientific approach to shot placement and penetration, keep it up. Thanks

Great info. It happens if you shoot at enough deer. One major contributing factor is around and during the rut bucks seem to hardly ever stop moving. It's not like standing at the 3-d range hardly ever.

So funny you did this video now. I just had this exact thing happen last week to me too. Had a nice buck come in from my left quartering too me and I aimed just behind the shoulder but he stepped when I shot and I knew the shot was back. I'm shooting my 20% foc 150 gr honed grizzly heads and it zipped right thru and the deer ran about 40 yds and stopped behind a stone wall and I lost sight of him. Backed out quietly and went home and called my brother for tracking help expecting a long tracking job. We went back 5 hours later and he had literally bedded behind the wall 40 yards away! Shot had hit .near lung and liver exiting stomach on far side. I'm convinced that because the arrow went thru him so fast he didnt know what happened and just bedded down and died. Great advice aiming more forward. Next time its through the shoulder area for me! Thanks RF!

I love your style, straight shooter. I've been learning a lot from your videos. I'm still working for my first deer before the season ends.

This why I appreciate your videos and THP!! I learn so much! Already going through the process for next year.

Thanks, good information. Hunting public boys are serious hunters, seem to be doing it on a shoe string budget.

Shot buck, quarter to me, shotgun slug, behind shoulder, went over 200yds before killed by brother--tough animals!

Troy, I've got 200 gr Evos pre-ordered. Can't wait to put them to work!

Just ordered my Ranch Fairy field point kits, to start my journey to building and shooting adult arrows.

Yes, yes and yes. Not only is it a good shot, I think it’s the Best shot angle. Practice on a 3D target look at you point of impact and determine desired point of impact at various angles to get your broadheads through the heart lung area

Well I learned 2 weeks ago that I suffer from buck fever when the horns are on'em. Doe I have no issue but them horns get me jacked. Shot a 5 point and an 8 point quartering away. The 5 went 600 yards with a liver shot right at dark so we backed out til the next day. Took 4 hours to find him. Shot an 8 early morning quartering away thru liver and left lung. He went 50 and fell over. My dumb tale went to take a picture 20 minutes after he fell. He jumped up and ran on adrenaline in a big circle 60 yards as the crow flies but the blood trail was none existent. Took 2 hours of walking to find him 60 yards away from the last place we had blood. Talk about a roller coaster of emotion!!! But we found them

This is good information for sure, my issue is that promoting this shot will result in a lot of lost animals. Not everyone has the luxury of having a team to grid search plus there are way too many people still thinking expendables are the best thing since sliced bread. More down side than up side IMO. Love your research and videos WF.

Helpful for those of us who are still learning

Hey Troy I just tapped the bell! My flapper and twizzler failed me two years in a row I have 150 stinger buzzcuts got 350 spine arrow shafts going to my buddy Saturday and gonna start with arrow flight and go down the line I video my hunts if I get a deer with new arrow and head setup I'll send it. Just want to say thanks to you and especially Dr Ashbey. I'm a right handed shooter that needs a left shoulder replacement and I was worried I wouldn't be an affective killer with my bow. Now I know I can kill big deer with low poundage if I hit them perfectly every time. I know I can't do that its time for plan b arrow to blow through them like shit through a goose! Yeah this year I was on the ground 19 slightly quartering away hut him square in the ribs found arrow git 9 inches tip was broke off ill send everything once I get one down. Thanks for your hard work Troy

Great video. Looking forward to the next one. I shot the biggest buck I’ve ever seen this past week pretty far forward because he jump the string and rotated. Tracked him 175 yards and never found him

Thank you RF. Your videos are like standup comedy for bow hunters, and a tutorial on how not to suck.

Thanks fairy always a pleasure and ALWAYS educational and adult drivin fun.

These are common shots on deer. Reality is as we as hunters set up for quartering to shots. We set up down wind facing direction deer are expected to come from. Majority of time on mature animals of any kind we are stacking odds in their favor to get that visual and set for that window we plan in our head. If our target animal is before that window we have set for, we feel good about what is happening. As deer passes our window... he is getting away. Lol. So without thinking about it alot of us set ourselves up for quartering to. Yet many concentrate on the speed of their bow with little concern of what they are shooting from their bow.

My name is Daniel, and its been 12 months since Ive shot my last twizler stick at a deer. Since I've recovered with adult arrows, I will pound the shoulder quartering to all day.

Hey Ranch Fairy, Great videos. I just watched a guy trap a single hog attach a gps to it and track its movements for a week to find a sounder bedding site. Then in the middle of the day snuck up on them while they were sleeping. . don't get me wrong, I have no issue with sitting at a feeder, it is just a way to hunt them in the middle of the day. GPS Tracking Feral Hogs, and ambushing them where they sleep! | Judas Hog/Pig

Nice video, well thought out and put together.

This was a very informative and cool video. Love the hunting public and love ranch fairy.

I keep hearing double lung is the best way to shoot compared to hitting the heart... as someone who's studied biology and taken all the classes, I have to say it's great to hear you talk about actual anatomy and placement and just how important it is to get a shot near the heart if not directly on it. Common sense says you take out the pump station the animal will fall must faster! Thanks for these videos!

Yeah BUDDY! Let's GO! Full frontal shots next 💪

Great video , I’m surprised how much talking they get away with , while deer are right in top of them . Crazy

Thanks so mycy for this video! I really need this before October 1st, even know last year I made a heart shot, but deer was broadside 10 yards, I just want to be ready incase I have to make these shots

480 grain arrow tipped with a grim reaper flapper special shot out of a 80 pound hoyt does the trick, they run till they crash but most of the time they don't make it outside of 100 yards.

Great job explaining this. Look forward to the next video!

😂Hunters! Wouldn’t it be nice to shoot enough Deer 🦌 on camera for other people to get snippy about shot placement?😅😂😊😂😂! Good stuff!! Very funny!!🏹🦌🏹🦌🏹🦌🏹🦌🏹🦌

"Send Hate Mail to Troy@...." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Ranch cracks me up!

I definitely want to look into those new broadheads.. they look freaking awesome

My first deer with a bow was a quartering to shot, used my black hornet ser razor and hit 1 lung and the liver. The deer was dead in 14 minutes, watched it keel over and die myself as it only went about 60 yards. Full credit to the Broadhead

Great video,can’t wait for part 2

Drinking the kool-aid now. 3 deer now with 2 blade broadheads and feathers, always wait for a mostly broadside shot but recently had a slight quartering toward shot. All 3 around 15m or so, all 3 passthroughs. Not great blood trails, but deer didn't ever run more than 20m.

Great video, excited for part 2

Well without any info, my senses told me to hit a bit more to the left, and a bit more down. Oh well.

I am waiting impatiently for part II. :P

Love the video n content. Drop your commentary on both audio channels in the edit please. Written word sections are on screen too breifly. Read it aloud as if you were standinf in front of a crowd. That's the timing. Just sharing some insight 😁

Let's not kill ourselves, the deer that ran 510 yd was pushed to that distance... If they back out, that deer beds down at 200 yds.

I have seen shots, whether accidental, or on purpose, where the arrow hit quartering to, in FRONT of the shoulder, and the deer fell within sight. In some instances, the arrow must have cut nerves/vessels that fed the front legs, and the shot turned the deer into a bulldozer, pushing his chest along the ground with his back legs basically going nowhere. Guessing a low percentage success shot because so much bone in the way. Maybe they just got lucky.

Screw that holding back on a quartering too!! Take my iron will on my 545 grain RIP TKO 18.5% foc put that pin straight up the off side leg and let that sum beach rip right through that shoulder turn em into a three wheeler lol like the ranch fairy!!

If you want to see what adult arrows can really do, check out Aaron's Elk hunt with the Born and Raised guys. Shot is right here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9Z0fZVikpbIo4k.html .. Whole video is awesome though. SPOILER: Aaron's arrow went all the way from the front and out the rear of an Elk.

My setup ain't stopping for no deer no matter where you shoot them...lol

Between what the animals do. How we shoot under pressure. The obstacles in the way. Why wouldn't you want to shoot a magnum and break what you hit? And what does too sharp mean? Never seen where it's too sharp!

I believe I know what you are going to talk about in the next video. Just a request; I see the elk guys taking extreme quartering to or frontal shots on elk. Id really like to know the thought process on this....just a larger target or play the cards you are dealt with. Lots of videos of frontal elk shots and lots are deadly.

Awesome video!

Great content as usual.

Good stuff as always.

The best mistakes to learn from, are someone else's.

Always excellent!

Good stuff RF

Been waiting on troy to drop a new vid

Who else has been waiting all week for part 2?

Nicely done. 👍👍👍

so it seems like aim a bit forward of where you would normally decide to shoot when the animal is quartering in

I don’t have any audio where RF is speaking…the other parts I have audio…

Troy do you remember a book from a fellow texan named the bowhunting alternative circa 1985 I think his name is Adrian behnke and he did a lot of study on succinclycholinechloride and broadheads

Great info, thank you.

Don't forget to leave a comment and subscribe. Part of the youtube algorithm. Thanks Ranch

I shot my buck quartering to me and dropped him with a single bevel broadhead. So many ppl aim behind the shoulder. That's fine if its quartering away. Anxious for part 2.

I passed on this shot just the other day, still questioning my decision but have had things go bad doing it and go right.

anyone else not getting any audio aside from the hunting clips?

Awesome vid

Good video. I don't like that shot. It's are duty to dispatch the animal as quickly as possible. If you are taking a low percentage shot and it takes the animal 6 or more hours to die. We are not respecting the animal enough. A good broadside Shor the deer rarely go more then 50 yds.

Audio is in one ear bud when Troy is talking after the intro.
