Me again. I sent the link to this thread for oldhootowl to review. He replied back to me and said I could post for him since he hasn't been able to find his password.

"Thanks Eric, somebody else gave me a heads up earlier. I can't find a password or whatever to post right now so I gave the guy a readers digest version to post if he wants, and I emailed 5 shot. Suffice it to say this is the only deflection complaint I have received, and I don't believe there is a problem on a good angled shot. Any head will travel down the ribs if that is the direction of the arrow upon contact, and the deer doesn't have to move much on a quartering shot for that to happen with any head. There are good quartering shots and risky quartering shots with any head, and even on a good quartering shot a deer can easily move enough for it to become an extreme quartering shot with a grazing angle. Fred Bear once shot a doe at close range on camera and while he was aiming for one side he hit the other side. And the eye can not get close to telling if the deer moved just before the arrow hit or after. I believe if people were having a real problem I would have heard about it by now from more than one person. I have only heard of 2 guys losing animals with my heads total, this being one of them. If shops were seeing a problem they would be hollering at me, you can bet on that, but they are praising my heads. I have seen pictures where Muzzies traveled down the ribs but if that is the line of the shot at impact of course that would be where it goes, that isn't "deflection". Of course now everybody who shot and missed will have a tendency to latch on to the "deflection" excuse. The only arrow guaranteed to kill regardless is a poison arrow. I don't know if I will find the password and post anyway but feel free to also post this if you like.

THANKS GARY"
