PatapscoMike I had not thought of that, I will have to check out the Snyper's for next year, I had my first bowkill this year using spitfires, they did one heck of a job, put it was a perfect broadside shot.

c903 I totally concur that it would be very difficult without spending thousands of dollars to emulate an actual deer, money that I am sure 5 shot can not afford, I am also in total agreement that 5 shot's test are not gospel in regards to simulating broadhead performance on a live deer.

5 shot the test you do on broadheads are very informative and do have an effect on my choice of broadhead, do I shoot the same you do hunting? No, but I have used your data to decide between one broadhead versus another.

Oh yea, BTW I am enjoying this thread a lot of good info, let me throw a question out there for some more knowledgeable than I, would the planing chances be greatly reduced by moving the blades further back from the tip? It seems to me it would, but that brings up another potential issue, how great of an effect would this have on arrow aerodynamics?
