ORIGINAL: blood
I also shota deer w/ this head this past weekend (an 80 pound doe)the head hit behind the shoulder(she was slightly quatering away)it bounced off opposite shoulder w/ an 70 pound bow,no exit @25 yards wtf.
One instance does not make a novel. I passed through a bull elk at 30 yards with Muzzy broadheads, same head, new blades it failed to pass through a doe at 20 yards. There are so much that regulate penetration on animals. You can't jump to conclusions on your one shot.
The bending is another issue, I wanted to touch on penetration.
