Default RE: Mechanical BH failure

ORIGINAL: WKP Todd

I also know of a buck that was shot this past season with a fixed head at a hard quartering-away angle, and the broadhead deflected off the ribs, basically going through the arm-pit without entering the rib-cage of the buck. It left a major wound, but the buck survived and was killed during gun season. Would you consider this "head failure"? Anything can happen with any head. You don't believe me, how would you explain lost animals before the advent of mechanicals?
If this is the same buck I know about, it was shot with a fixed blade head. If it's not the same buck, I'm in idiot.

Either way, it's win-win.
