Dave, the broadhead did it's job on the deer, no question about that. I failed to do mine when it came to checking my equipment, as far as the arrow rest part goes. I was supprised myself at how far the doe ran with good shot placement, both lungs were taken out, but as you say with only a two blade "slit" vs a three or 4 blade hole I think the air just comes out of lungs slower, allowing the animal to go farther. I have tried to use a differnt style of broadhead for at least one of my deer for the past three years, just to see how they preform on game. I have pretty much come to the conclusion that for deer size game I will be shooting a muzzy 4 blade with a 1 1/8" cutting diameter. The extra blade vs the three blade model,along with the extra 1/8" cut compared to the 100 grn model should give me the best of both worlds, large hole, good accuracy and penetration. No I don't consider the buck I found a week later a succesful bow kill, nor am I proud of the facts surrounding what happend, but the fact is the broadhead did the job. As for the Doe, it is by far the farthest any well hit aniamal I have ever shot has gone. These facts along with the short trailing jobs I have had from fixed 3 and 4 blade heads has me convinced that for most archers with plenty of KE to spare,These heads are a better choice.
