I have taken a couple of deer with the sidewinder. The broadheads looked terrible afterward but the holes were impressive. I have taken quite a few deer with the Hammerhead 3L. Ironically there was less blade breakageon the head although the blades were still all bent up, but the holes were massive.Results were noticeably much more positive with the2" cut versus the 1 1/2.Not everyone has enough "juice" to shoot the two inch cut but they do a number on deer.
