Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while looking for a good forum, and I finally joined because I like the atmosphere on the board here. This will be my fourth bowhunting season and I'm switching from a fixed blade broadhead (Muzzy) to a mechanical (Spitfire) and I have a question for those who use mechanicals.

How often, if ever, have your arrows deflected off the deer because of the angle they hit at? For example, if a deer was perfectly broadside to you, lets call that zero degrees. If you're looking at the southern end of a northbound deer, lets call that 90 degrees. Ethical shots aside, at what point would your arrow deflect and not engage the blades?
