If ya never recovered that deer then there is no way to determine the effect of the broadhead,could have been a bad hit. I have yet to have to trail a deer after shot with my shockwaves,4 hits=4deer dropping in sight. I have lost deer with regular heads that did ad did not pass thru....conclusion,it was my fault..not the broadheads.I think that way too often "we" blame our equipment and not ourselves.Oh yeah, one of those deer shot with a shockwave that dropped in sight was NOT a pass thru.Plenty of damage is done when arrow is entering to induce death IF shot placement is correct.IMHO

If I ain't huntin',I'm trappin',If I ain't trappin',I'm fishin'
If I ain't fishin',I'm wishin'!
