There is alotof discussion on shoulder hits and penetration with broadheads.

One personwill say I blew through both shoulders and the next person will say I only got 2" of penetration. This will happen because of the anatomy of the shoulder area.Also, alot will be determined by what angle the deer was standing, what it did on the shot and what position the front leg and shoulder was at when the arrow went into the deer.

To many times the broadhead will take the blame but most of the time it's simply the difference of 1" on shot placement.

NO broadhead, NONE, will go through the "knuckle" of the shoulder. But most quality broadheads will blow through the shoulder "area", if you miss the "knuckle". Again, this may only be a 1" difference in shot placement but it is reality.

Lets not be so quick to blame the broadhead but blame ourselves and a little bad luck.
