quicktune360 arrow rest

[Mike123]

does anyone know if any type of offset or helical fleching will pass threw the quicktune 360 capture rest without fletching contact?

Also how hard is it to spot n' stalk deer. I have a ghille suit and a 42# draw weight parker buckshot and arrow speeds are about 200 to 220. i'd be hunting in lightly dense forests?

Last is my arrow speed to slow for a mechanical broadhead.


Thanks
Mike

Yes it should pass without contact.

Almost next to impossible.Ive hunted deer for many many years and I go about 5 days a week.I have a wall full of trophys and killed many others.Seeing a deer and walking it down to a good shooting range with a bow is a hard thing to do.There are so many variables that would have to be just right for You to pull it off.Its hard enough to get them in shooting distance sitting in a stand.

Best bet is if You see one while on the ground get in a good concealed position and attempt to call the deer towards You.If the area You will be hunting has good deer activity just build you a small blind against a tree off some of the trails.

I agree with Ostbucks98 on the stalking deer for the most part. The only situation that has allowed me to get somewhat close to the deer except for having a ridge or fenceline for total concealment is when the rut is in full gear. I have had a few close opportunities where I tried to move in on a deer when I knew he had nothing but love on his mind. I have never gotten a shot that way but got within about 35-40 yards a couple of times but ran out of cover to stalk through.

The best story I will ever hear about happened to a buddy of mine during hunting camp a couple of years ago. I did not witness it but two others in our hunting party did. Otherwise I would have never been able to believe the story. This is a bit long but it is rather enjoyable in my opinion.

__________________________________________________ _____________
When we do hunting camp we always come back to camp at lunchtime to fill up and get ready for the evening. On their way back from the property they were hunting on my buddies saw a doe that was bedded out in the middle of a wide open cut soy bean field. She was laying on the front side of a very gradual knoll which she apparently felt was securing her from behind. She was probalby around 100 yards from the road. This property was part of the farm that they were hunting so my one buddy said to the other, "I bet you can't sneak up on and stick her." The buddy thought, "What the heck. I'll give it a try."

Their plan was to take him down the driveway a short distance just to where the hill dropped to put them out of view. He dropped him off and pulled back up to where they had spotted the doe and pulled off the side of what was the farmers long driveway to his farm. Their thought was that the doe seemed to feel comfortable as long as she could see the vehicle so he sat the truck there to give her something to hold her attention.

Since he had dropped his buddy off at least 300 yards away it took him quite a while to get all the way to where he could even see her. During this time the one in the truck got on his phone call the rest of us to check in like we always do to see if anyone needed any help. As he is making his call he is watching his buddy walk at a slow steady pace across the soft damp bean field. The wind was quartering toward the doe but he was coming in from nearly a crosswind direction so getting winded was not likely until he was right on her. He said as he got to within about 60 yuards or so he could see her and he was coming in straight behind her. Every now and then she would swing her head from left to right scan the surroundings but her deadly error was that she did not scan behind herself. He crept up with bow at ready until he was about 30 yards away and then drew on her. He then walked in on her another few yards and as she started to look back his way he let it fly and stuck her while she was still in her curled up resting position. She jumped up and made it about 30 yards before going down for good.

Like I said had I not know these guys so well I would never have believed that story. In fact during the time that the driver was waiting for him to work in close, the farmer's wife pulled out the driveway leaving and stopped to talk to him. She asked him if anything was wrong and he just pointed out to the field and told her what was going on. She watched for a minute or so and then just shook her head before pulling away as if she thought they were crazy for trying it.:D

So I guess the moral of that story is to never say never. That is why I always go in and out of the woods at ready if it is during shooting time because you just never know what may happen.

Yes. With that set up I would suggest nothing less than a good cut-on-impact broadhead.
