Hey was just curious, is about six inches penetration when hitting the front shoulder good enough to maybe tap into the vitals. Deer is 4 1/2 and well over 200lbs. I have been hunting him for two years now and have his sheds from the last three. Tracked him about 200 yds before he entered his bedding area and I backed off. Very little blood sign and some of the blood was light color but there was also frost on the ground, it was jumping logs that had fell on the trail he was on. I don't think my rage penetrated that shoulder but Im acting like it did. My KE is about 68 with the Ibo and grain of arrow I shoot, but a shoulder hit is a shoulder hit. I limit myself to one hit a year if its good awesome if its bad I hang it up, so pretty much im done. This is a first for me, hitting the shoulder and so far I don't like it [
