I've killed 8 deer with them. The only draw back is they aren't very sharp.In spite of that, everything I killed last year bled well and died fast, except for one deer and I madea horrible shot on her.It still managed to kill her. As Motown said, the Strikers are insanely sharp and so I have switched to them this year. So far, four shots have resulted in two dead does, a dead hog, and a dead raccoon. {I got bored} Everything bled like you were pouring it out of a bucket.
