What I can't believe is that people are surprised that a mechanical bh post turned into an argument, especially with Jeff and Dan involved.[&:] No offense fellas, but you're both usually in the eye of the storm.
I didn't shoot the arrow but was sitting next to the guy that did and I cut it out.
NAP shockwave 100gr. Shot out the window of a Double Bull Blind, not through the mesh. Antelope buck 27 yards, hit high and ended up witha spine shot. Buck dropped in his tracks but had to shoot him again in the chest. Dissected out the arrow in the back and the broadhead was completely closed and buried in the vertebrae with the blades in the closed position. Complete malfunction, I'm not even sure how that happened. Broadhead penetrated the bone with the blades in the closed position.
I saved the bone with the head embedded and sent NAP a letter to see if they wanted it and never heard from them.
Mez, what was entrance wound? Were there blade marks or no? I've heard of jack knife style heads swinging closed when stopped abruptly (like when hitting bone). I wonder if this may be what happened on that shot. If not, that is amazing that those blades could stay closed even passing into bone.
