Default RE: PaDavy - Failed Mechanical head maybe PIC

The story as told below by PaDavy ...


" The deer I took (a fat solo doe) was broadside but angled slightly toward me. Because of this I aimed just along the rear edge of the shoulder to maximize vitals contact. Well I was about an inch forward of where I wanted to be and caught the back age of the shoulder bone. I was using an NAP Shockwave. Long story short, had no pass-through and the deer went a long long way to the lake (saw no blood). When I gutted the dear the piece of arrow was inside and when I pulled it out only one of the 3 blades was opened. (I do have a pic but no way to post it) Was lucky to recover since I hunt property with a lake and a club member out fishing saw a deer in bad shape laying in water in the edge of the lake. It was dead when we got back to retrieve it.

I didn't pull the arrow out. It was completely inside the deer's cavity (broken off, about 8 inches plus head). I didn't yank it through entrails either. Took it out carefully. The entry hole was small and round.
My bow is a Browning Mirage SX set at 65lbs. I"m shooting 60/75 Beeman carbons (not sure of weight?) and 100 grain heads"
