Gotta agree with these guys, it wasn't the broadhead, it was the shot placement. I smacked my buck with a Rocky Mt Snyper this year, 13 yard quartering away shot that went through the ribs, hit the liver and lungs, and exited only to travel another 20 yards past the deer and burry itself over a foot into the ground! The outcome you had could have been the same even if you were shooting a fixed blade b-head!
