I am serious! I could care less what you shoot, why would I lie about it? This particular shot this guy took was on a wounded deer my brother had hit the day before. We seen the deer bedded and me and 3 other guys slowly approached while my brother and another guy posted 30 yards in front of us. Thisfriend of mine had the only open shot when the deer stood up, it was a severe butshootable angle, he aimed for the last rib hoping to come out behind the shoulder on the other side. The arrow glanced right off the riband into the dirt between its legs. He got an earfull from a few us about thekind of broadhead he shootsand what can happen with some of these mechanicals. Luckilywe got one more crack at the deer an hour later and this time my other buddy zipped him good behind the shoulder. You could see plain as day where the rage hit thedeer on the outside of the rib on the hide. It sliced it about 2 inches long on the hide. This is the only time i've seen it, i'veheardof a few others incidents. You go ahead and shoot what you want, don't matter to me what you shoot, but don't call me a liar!!!!!
Sounds to me like its a bit more of a misrepresentation of what happened? I think it much more likely that he just pulled the shot a little and grazed the deer.
If you know anything about these heads and practiced with them like I have........they don't BOUNCE off anything. There isn't an angle that a fixed head will get through that these won't just as well if not a little better because of the length of the tip and the cutting blade insert.
Because the animal you mention had a slash on it means nothing other than a pulled shot. The fact that there was a slash simply means that the hide pushed one blade back and cut the animal as it glanced off.........exactly what would have happened with the same shot on ANY head.
Nobody is calling you a liar I don't think, only that there is most likely some misinterpretation of what actually happened. Severe shooting angles mean a much smaller margin for error and a shot that would only be 1-2" off on a broadside animal is still a perfect shot. On a severe quartering animal 1-2" off could mean the difference of the tip never biting anything.
I know these heads and if the tip hit where it was supposed to on impact the rest of the head would have followed. These heads will not deflect anymore than any other broadhead you can tell just by looking at the design. The blades don't lever out and away but straight back and they angle is no steeper than many of the current popular short fixed heads. Combine that with an extended front which will actually HELP penetration on angled shots and blaming the broadhead makes no sense in reality.
Its easy to poke blame at a piece of equipment we have little to no experience with and away from the guy behind the bow, it's human nature.
