My friend and I decided to try the spitfire mechanical broadheads this year and were disappointed. He uses a crossbow that he has a permit for and shot a deer at 22 yards broadside. The bolt only penetrated 10 inches or half its lenght. There was hardly any blood trail but found his deer about 100 yards away because it was light out and shot the deer in the morning. I shot a deer with a compound bow about 10 yards behind the shoulder also broadside and the arrow did not blow through. Is this a coincidence or do you get less penetration using mechanical broadheads? Has anyone else had a similar problem?
What do the outfitters say or recommend? When my friend and I used the 100 grain muzzies the shots blew through and we had good blood trails.
Any comments are appreciated Thanks
