As for shoulder bones I have shot through them several times.

I shoot 125 GR Thunderheads and I shoot a one pin sight with most shots being between 10-20 yards.These heads are indestructible & very deadly.

When a buck is this close I will not try to stop them,and I feel shooting forward is always better than shooting aft.

If you are looking for a way to solve 80% -90% of bow hunting problems leading to the failure to recover hit deer. then Make 25 yards the maximum you will shoot at a deer and strive for under twenty ,and your recovery record will be very close to 100%.
