I'm not trying to blame the broadhead, but the boradhead I used left a very small hole and very poor bloodtrail.
I have seen deer shot in the hind quarter with a Vortex 125 grain and it left a hole in the deer the size of my hand, ran 100 yards and looked like someone took a red paint can out in the woods and started slinging it all over the place.
Saying there is no excuse for a bad hit comes from in-experience. They do happen and will happen. That's why it's called Bow-Hunting and not Bow-Killing.
Let's please just discuss broadheads, performance and your expereinces with them.
Believe me, I've had my share of bad experiences.
The shot I made on my first doe hit her in the paunch. I was shooting 3-Blade 100grn. Muzzys. There was a good trail to follow, and when we found her the holes on both sides were fairly large. Had it been a lung hit, she would have gone down easily.
